Iran's Revolutionary Guard has claimed that a short-range projectile was responsible for the killing of Hamas political chief Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran. The Guard accused the United States of supporting the attack, which it attributed to Israel. The incident occurred at the residence of Hamas' political leader in the Iranian capital, causing significant damage. Haniyeh was in Iran to attend the inauguration of newly elected Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian.
The Revolutionary Guard's statement alleged that the rocket used in the attack had a seven-kilogram warhead. It pointed fingers at Israel, labeling the action as a design of the 'Zionist regime' and claiming U.S. support for the operation. The Guard vowed retaliation against Israel, warning of severe consequences for the alleged perpetrators.
