Bagheri Kani linked the assassination of Haniyeh with the earlier killing of senior Hezbollah commander Fouad Shokor in Beirut, suggesting that these events are part of a broader pattern of Israeli terrorist actions across Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon, and Syria.

He criticized the attacks as unjustifiable and a direct violation of Iran’s sovereignty, given that Haniyeh was in Tehran as an official guest and attending the inauguration of Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian.

The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) reports that a targeted attack on Haniyeh’s residence in Tehran early Wednesday killed him and his bodyguard.

The IRGC has attributed the attack to Israel, labeling it a terrorist act and pledging a harsh and painful response in retaliation.
