Iran’s Revolutionary Guard confirmed Haniyeh, bodyguard dead but gave no details how they were killed
Iran’s paramilitary Revolutionary Guard said Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh and one of his body guards were assassinated in Tehran.
The statement gave no details on how Haniyeh was killed.
State TV reported on his death early Wednesday.
Haniyeh was in Tehran to attend Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian’s swear-in ceremony on Tuesday. Iran gave no details on how Haniyeh was killed, and the Guard said the attack was under investigation.
Analysts on Iranian state television immediately began blaming Israel for the attack.
Israel itself did not immediately comment but it often doesn’t when it comes to assassinations carried out by their Mossad intelligence agency.
More to come.
