Iran said on Wednesday that the blood of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh, who was killed in Tehran hours earlier, “will never be wasted,” APA reports citing JNS.
“Haniyeh’s martyrdom in Tehran will strengthen the deep and unbreakable bond between Tehran, Palestine, and the resistance,” said Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Nasser Kanaani.
Recall that the head of the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas, Ismail Haniyeh, was assassinated in Tehran along with one of his bodyguards, Iran's Revolutionary Guards said Wednesday.
Hamas announced that Haniyeh was killed in an Israeli raid on his residence in Tehran.
Haniyeh was in Tehran to attend Iran's President Masoud Pezeshkian's swear-in ceremony on Tuesday.
