According to the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, a short-range missile was used in the assassination attempt on Hamas foreign chief Ismail Haniya. This version contradicts the original explanation that Haniya was killed by a bomb.
Following reports on the assassination attempt on Hamas foreign chief Ismail Haniya, the Iranian Revolutionary Guards are spreading their own version of events. According to them, a short-range missile was used in the attack on Haniya in Tehran, which was equipped with a warhead weighing around seven kilograms and was fired from outside the guest house in the north of the capital.
This caused the explosion that killed Haniya, according to a report by the Revolutionary Guard. This is their third report on the attack. The statements in it cannot be independently verified.
Assassination attempt on Hamas leader: Iran contradicts Israeli version
In their report, the Revolutionary Guards also blame Israel for the “terrorist act,” saying that the country was supported by the USA. Israel has not yet commented on the attack.
Iran had previously rejected all speculation about the method of the attack. US media had reported that Haniya had been killed by a bomb. The explosive device was said to have been placed in the guesthouse two months before Haniya’s trip to Tehran.
Reports of the arrest of Iranian security forces for alleged cooperation with Israeli intelligence and involvement in the attack have not yet been officially confirmed.
