Tehran, Iran – In a shocking development, Ismail Haniyeh, the political bureau chief of Hamas, has been killed in an airstrike in Tehran. The strike, widely attributed to Israel, occurred less than 24 hours ago, leading to a swift and severe response from Iran.
Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has ordered a direct attack on Israel in retaliation for Haniyeh’s assassination. Security sources informed the Guardian that Khamenei, visibly enraged by the killing, demanded an immediate and forceful response during an emergency meeting of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council held this morning.
Three Iranian officials, including two members of the Revolutionary Guards, revealed that Khamenei emphasized the necessity of avenging Haniyeh’s death. Their identities remain undisclosed to the public. The Supreme Leader declared, “Avenging Haniyeh’s blood is our duty,” and promised a “harsh and painful response” to the attack.
This incident has escalated tensions in the region, with Iran vowing severe retaliation against Israel. The international community watches with bated breath as the situation unfolds, fearing further violence and instability in an already volatile region.
