Iranian ambassador to Syria, Ahmad Moussawi, warned Wednesday that "the death of Hizbullah leader Imad Moghnieh will lead to an earthquake in the Zionist regime," the Islamic Republic News Agency reported.
He added that "this despicable crime will increase the Zionists' disasters and strengthen the courage of those who will hit the Zionist regime." Earlier Wednesday, Hizbullah accused "Israel" of assassinating martyr Imad Moghnieh.
In a letter of condolence to Hizbullah Secretary General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, the Iranian ambassador wrote, "His pure blood, just like the blood of the other fighters, will claim a heavy price from the enemy." I would like to express my condolences following the death of this great commander who had become a martyr by the Zionist criminals".
Earlier Wednesday, Iran accused "Israel" of assassinating senior Hizbullah leader Imad Moghnieh and said his death was a result of ''state terrorism by the Zionist regime.''
Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Mohammad Ali Hosseini expressed Iran's ''strong condemnation'' of the killing. ''This action is a clear result and example of organized state terrorism by the Zionist regime,'' he said, according to the state news agency IRNA. He called on the world to ''prevent the Zionist regime from taking these actions that are a clear violation of international law.''
Hosseini called Moghnieh ''a golden page in the history of mankind's fight against the aggressive and occupying Zionists.''
