    Iranian workers install a huge banner on a wall showing a portrait of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh with a sign that reads in Farsi and Hebrew: "Wait for severe punishment," at Palestine Sq. in Tehran, Iran, Wednesday, July 31, 2024 (AP)

Iran's response [to the Israeli assassination of martyr Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran] might not resemble previous operations, the spokesperson for the Iranian Revolution Guard Corps, Mohammad Ali Naini, revealed.

He added that the Armed Forces' leadership, in high decision-making ranks, is evaluating all possible positions, making accurate and calculated decisions, and changing the enemy's calculations through effective measures. 

Speaking to reporters, Naini said "Israel" accepted defeat, with American politicians admitting and recognizing that, amid the failure of achieving any of their objectives. 

Time is ticking in Iran's favor, according to the IRGC general, adding that the period until Iran's retaliation might be lengthy enough to cause an imbalance in the Israelis' daily lives. "Our commanders have the experience, and art of punishing the enemy effectively, and are not prone to hasty action," he said.

He also reminded that Iran has not left "any attack on Iranian targets unanswered," and that the occupation should expect "calculated and precise strikes at the right time."

In the same context, the Deputy Commander of the IRGC, Brigadier General Ali Fadavi, emphasized on Monday that Iran will determine "the timing and manner of punishing the entity and avenging the martyr Haniyeh," underscoring the inevitability of carrying out this revenge.

Fadavi added that "the commotion within the occupying entity, due to waiting for the Iranian response, is more difficult for them than death, as they are anxiously awaiting our retaliation day and night."

Iranian political and military leaders, including Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei and President Masoud Pezeshkian, have pledged to avenge Haniyeh’s death.

"Iran’s response to the assassination of Martyr Haniyeh as an official guest of Iran and the issue of the ceasefire negotiations in Gaza are two separate issues," Foreign Ministry spokesperson Nasser Kanaani said, adding, "We have been and are the strongest and most important regional and international supporter of the cessation of war and [establishment of] ceasefire and we still support any action in this regard."
