Iran force vows ‘harsh and painful response’ to Hamas leader assassination
Tehran (Quds News Network)- Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps vowed to retaliate against Israel following the assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran on Wednesday. Israel will face “a harsh and painful response” from Iran and its allies, Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps said in a statement. “This crime showed that the Zionist gang of criminals, murderers and terrorists, without any regard for international rules and regulations, does not shy away from committing any criminal action to cover up the shameful failures of nine months of war in Gaza, which led to the massacre of tens of thousands of Palestinian women, men and children,” added the statement. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian and Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei also promised to retaliate against Israel following Haniyeh’s assassination. “The Islamic Republic of Iran will defend its territorial integrity, honor, pride and dignity, and make the terrorist invaders regret their cowardly action,” President Masoud Pezeshkian said in a post on X. “The criminal and terrorist Zionist regime martyred our dear guest in our house and made us sad, but it also prepared a harsh punishment for itself,” read a statement from Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
