Iran Says Receives No Message from Illegitimate Israeli Regime
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Iran’s Foreign Ministry categorically denied reports that Tehran has received message from Israel, stressing that the regime is “illegitimate”.
“The Islamic Republic of Iran has received no official or unofficial message from the illegitimate regime of Israel,” Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Marziyeh Afkham said on Monday evening.
She said the UN secretatary general envoy to Lebanon, in an earlier meeting with Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister for Arab and African Affairs Hossein Amir Abdollahian, has asked for Iran’s assistance in establishing a truse in Southern Lebanon.
The remarks by Afkham came after Chairman of the Iranian Parliament's National Security and Foreign Policy Commission Alaeddin Boroujerdi told Al-Alam TV news channel on Monday that Israeli regime has sent a message to Tehran through “an official channel” in which Tel Aviv said the regime is no longer willing to heighten tensions after its recent attack on Hezbollah fighters and an Iranian commander in Syria.
On January 18, a Zionist military helicopter gunship fired two missiles into Amal Farms in Syria’s Quneitra region.
Six Hezbollah fighters, including Jihad Mughniyeh, the son of Hezbollah’s martyred top military commander, Imad Mughniyeh, as well as senior IRGC commander Brigadier General Mohammad Ali Allahdadi were killed in the strike.
In retaliation, the Lebanese Hezbollah on January 28 attacked an Israeli military convoy in Shebaa Farms, north of the occupied territories and near the Lebanese border.
Tel Aviv says the attack killed two Israeli soldiers and wounded seven other soldiers.
