The Acting Minister of Foreign Affairs of Iran asked the European Union to put pressure on the Zionist regime to end its continuous crimes.

Afghan Voice Agency (AVA) - Monitoring: Ali Baqeri Kani, in a phone conversation with Josep Borrell the EU Foreign Policy Chief, said the European Union should, in line with its responsibility to maintain international peace and security, put pressure on the Zionist regime to prevent the continuation of crimes by this regime. 
Baqeri referred to the assassination of Ismail Haniyeh, the political chief of the Palestinian movement of Hams, by the Israeli regime in Tehran, adding the Zionist regime violated Iran's territorial integrity and sovereignty and at the same time jeopardized regional and international peace and stability. 
He said that Iran will definitely exercise its inalienable right to punish the criminal gang ruling Tel Aviv.   
Baqeri also spoke about the UN Security Council emergency meeting, held at the request of Iran, and deplored the move by some European countries alongside the US to prevent the condemnation of the assassination of Haniyeh by the top UN body. 
Baqeri underlined that this action by those European countries and their silence regarding the Zionist regime's warmongering in Yemen and Lebanon has emboldened Tel Aviv to continue its acts of aggression. 
Josep Borrell for his part agreed that Iran has the right to defend its territorial integrity and sovereignty but expressed concern over the rising tension and the possibility of a full-fledged war in the region and its implications for regional nations./Fars News
