Iran has pledged retaliation against Israel for the killing of Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran. A spokesperson for Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) stated that the response may take time and will be calculated.
The Middle East has been on high alert since the assassinations of Haniyeh and Hezbollah commander Fu’ad Shukr. Israel claimed responsibility for Shukr's killing but has not confirmed its role in Haniyeh's death.
