Iran Foreign Ministry spokesman Nasser Kanaani condemns Israel’s “despicable” killing of Hamas deputy leader Saleh al-Arouri near Beirut earlier tonight.

“The martyr’s blood will undoubtedly ignite another surge in the veins of resistance and motivate the fight against the Zionist occupiers, not only in Palestine but also in the region and among all freedom-seekers worldwide,” Kanaani says.
