Fears of Regional War Intensify Following Targeted Killing in Tehran
In a special statement, Muhammed Faisal, the renowned international mediator and head of the World Peace Mission, has vehemently condemned the assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh by Israeli forces. The targeted killing, which occurred in Tehran, has been described by Faisal as a heinous crime and a dangerous escalation, marking a significant violation of international laws. He expressed grave concerns that this act aims to extend the Gaza conflict into a broader regional war.
Violation of International Laws and Dangerous Escalation, Says World Peace Mission Head
Moreover, Faisal pointed out that this assassination has undermined recent diplomatic efforts by China, which sought to steer the Muslim world, particularly Middle Eastern countries, towards a peaceful resolution with Hamas leaders. Instead, this provocative act seems designed to incite Iran to retaliate against Israel, potentially dragging the United States into the conflict to support its ally, Israel. This, according to Faisal, could be a strategy to justify delaying the upcoming American elections amidst the chaos of war.
The statement from the World Peace Mission underscores the urgent need for international intervention to prevent the escalation of violence and to uphold international law. Faisal called on global leaders to recognize the gravity of the situation and to take immediate steps to de-escalate tensions. He warned that the repercussions of this assassination could have far-reaching impacts, not only in the Middle East but across the globe, urging the international community to act swiftly to avert a catastrophic regional conflict.
