Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh and one of his bodyguards were killed after their residence was targeted in Tehran on July 31.

Issuing a statement, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said that the assassination of Ismail Haniyeh was designed and implemented by US-backed Israel.

Reacting to the Israeli act of terror, high-ranking Iranian officials vowed to give a proper response to Israel, with the Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei saying, that by assassinating Ismail Haniyeh, the Israeli regime has prepared the ground for harsh punishment for itself.
