Hamas chief phones Iran’s FM to condemn killing of nuclear scientist

The head of the Hamas terror group Ismail Haniyeh has phoned Iran’s Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif to condemn the killing of top Iranian nuclear scientist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, according to the Hamas-linked Al-Resalah website.

“The assassination reflects a criminal mentality that allows murder in broad daylight. The policy of assassinations, just as it didn’t succeed with the resistance in Palestine, will fail with Iran and the entire ummah and resistance axis,” Haniyeh is quoted as telling Zarif.

Iran has blamed Israel for the killing.
