Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh was assassinated in Tehran, Iran, following his attendance at the swearing-in ceremony of the new Iranian President, Masoud Pezeshkian. The Iranian paramilitary Revolutionary Guard confirmed the death, with suspicion falling on Israel as the perpetrator due to previous threats against Hamas leaders. Haniyeh’s assassination comes after an attack by Hamas on Israel that resulted in numerous casualties and hostages.
Iran has not provided details on how Haniyeh was killed, and the Revolutionary Guard is conducting an investigation into the attack. Analysts on Iranian state television have pointed fingers at Israel, while Israel itself has not yet commented on the incident. The Mossad intelligence agency, known for carrying out assassinations, is frequently linked to such operations.
As the story develops, journalists are working to uncover more information and provide updates. The assassination of Ismail Haniyeh raises tensions in the region and brings attention to the ongoing conflicts between Israel and Hamas. The international community will be watching closely as this situation unfolds.
