Israel to get Iran’s response to Haniyeh’s assassination in due time: IRGC
Iran's Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) has denounced as “a clear violation” of the UN Charter the assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran, warning the Israeli regime that it will receive the response to its “foolish” terrorist act in due time.
Brigadier General Ali Mohammad Naeini, the IRGC’s spokesman and deputy head of the Public Relations Department, made the remarks at a ceremony to commemorate National Journalists' Day in the country's central province of Qom on Sunday.
He went on to say that the assassination of the Hamas chief “was an example of a cognitive and political war that was carried out to create sedition and reduce the deterrence of the resistance front.”
The IRGC spokesman further noted that the fear of Iran’s response has engulfed the entire occupied territories, stressing that the Israeli regime thinks it can compensate for its defeats on the battlefield by conducting assassinations, while its existence and identity are on the brink of collapse.
He also said the Israeli regime has failed in weakening the morale of the resistance front, which was one of the goals of this assassination and has not achieved its military objectives either.
Haniyeh and one of his bodyguards were assassinated in Tehran on July 31, a day after he attended the swearing-in ceremony of Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian.
Following the assassination, the IRGC stated that Haniyeh was martyred by a "short-range projectile" launched from outside his residence in Tehran.
Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei has warned the Israeli regime of a "harsh response" for the assassination of Haniyeh, saying the Islamic Republic must avenge the blood of the Palestinian resistance leader.
