Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh was killed by a short-range projectile with a 7 kg warhead outside his residence in Tehran, according to Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). Iran alleges the attack was orchestrated by Israel with support from the US government. The IRGC has vowed severe retaliation, heightening fears of a broader regional conflict. The incident occurred hours after Haniyeh attended the inauguration of Iran's President Masoud Pezeshkian. The US and Israel are bracing for potential retaliatory attacks, with additional military deployments in the Middle East. Israel has neither confirmed nor denied involvement.
