Wednesday morning, July 31st, at 2 am Iranian time, Israel appears to have assassinated one of Hamas’ top three leaders, Ismail Haniyeh. Apparently Israel nailed Haniyeh with an explosive that blew up a few rooms of the luxury government apartment building in which the leader of Hamas was staying. Why was Haniyeh in Iran’s capital, Tehran? He was attending the swearing in of Masoud Pezeshkian, Iran’s new president. Which means that Haniyeh was an honored guest of Iran’s rulers.
