Mourners in Iran and Lebanon commemorated slain Hamas and Hezbollah officials, as they vowed retribution and signaled that the outburst of violence in the region may be far from over.
People gather around a truck carrying the coffins of Hamas's political leader Ismail Haniyeh and his bodyguard during a funeral procession in Tehran on Thursday.
Speaking during a visit to Mongolia, Secretary of State Antony Blinken issued a demand to “all parties” in the Gaza conflict to stop taking escalatory actions, a message clearly aimed at Israel a day after Haniyeh’s killing in Tehran. “To get there, it also first requires all parties to stop taking any escalatory actions. It also requires them to find reasons to come to an agreement, not to look for reasons to delay or say no to the agreement,” Blinken said.
