Ismail Haniyeh, the head of the pro-Palestinian armed group Hamas, was assassinated in the Iranian capital Tehran last week. Ismail Haniyeh, who attended the swearing-in ceremony of Iran’s new president, was staying at the government guesthouse in Tehran. Ismail Haniyeh and his bodyguard were killed in an attack on his residence.
The Iranian government said that the blame would be settled for sure. The Iranian government also ordered the Iranian forces to launch a direct attack on Israel. Meanwhile, it was reported that Mossad, Israel’s intelligence agency, had been planning to kill Ismail Haniyeh for the past two months, and that two months ago, explosives had been buried in the guest house where Ismail Haniyeh was staying with Iranian agents.
It is also said that Iranian agents carried out the assassination with 2 people. It was also reported that Israel’s Mossad was planning to kill Ismail Haniyeh while he was participating in the funeral of President Ibrahim Raisin. But the Iranian government said it killed him with a 7kg short-range ballistic missile.
Iran has warned that Israel will suffer the punishment for this and is also launching rocket attacks on Israel. In this case, the Iranian government is going to convene an emergency meeting of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation on Wednesday. Iran has reportedly decided to pressure Arab countries to support its right to retaliate against Israel. Various leaders of the Gulf countries have also condemned Israel’s actions.
At the same time, they advised Iran to remain calm. Meanwhile, the US has sent its warships and fighter jets to support Israel. US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken has said he expects Iran to launch attacks on Israel within the next 48 hours.
In this case, the Iranian government called foreign diplomats and warned that they have a moral duty to punish Israel for violating the law by assassinating Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran last week. As a result, it is expected that Iran may attack Israel at any time. Due to this, there is a tense situation in the Middle East countries.
