The Israeli occupation "brought upon itself the most severe punishment," the Leader of the Islamic Revolution and Republic of Iran, Sayyed Ali Khamenei, affirmed, following the Israeli attack that targeted the Iranian capital of Tehran and the assassination of the head of Hamas' Political Bureau, Martyr Ismail Haniyeh. 

Sayyed Khamenei stressed that retribution for Haniyeh's blood is "Iran's duty because he was martyred on our soil," adding that Haniyeh's assassination, who was a guest in Iran, "also set the ground for [the enemy's] harsh punishment upon itself."

Speaking about the martyred leader, Sayyed Khamenei said Haniyeh dedicated his life to the struggle [for liberation], was ready for martyrdom, and sacrificed his children on this path, noting that the "great Resistance Front is in mourning."

Consequently, Iran announced a three-day mourning period.

Haniyeh assassinated by cross-country missile

Martyr Ismail Haniyeh was assassinated on Wednesday after an Israeli attack targeted his place of Residence in Tehran, Iran, during a visit to the inauguration ceremony of the Iranian president. 

An Iranian source revealed to Al Mayadeen that the assassination "was carried out by a missile launched from one country to another, not from within Iran."

Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Nasser Kanaani confirmed that the relevant Iranian authorities are conducting "the necessary investigations to determine the dimensions and details of this incident."

He said, "There is no doubt that the pure blood of this Resistance fighter, who dedicated his life to resistance and honorable struggle against the usurping Zionist entity, and in the pursuit of liberating holy al-Quds and the Palestinian people, will not be in vain."

"We feel the heavy burden and responsibility of the Palestinian cause, and this responsibility comes with costs. We are prepared for these costs: martyrdom for the sake of Palestine, for the sake of Allah Almighty, and the dignity of this nation."
