Tehran (IP) - Martyr Ismail Haniyeh, the political bureau chief of the Palestinian Resistance Movement Hamas, and one of his Companion were killed in their residence in the Iranian capital early on Wednesday.

Iran Press/Iran news: Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei has said that the Islamic Republic of Iran views it as a duty to take vengeance for the assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh on its soil.

In the wake of the assassination of Ismail Haniyeh, President Masoud Pezeshkian of the Islamic Republic of Iran has vowed that the "terrorist occupiers" will regret their "cowardly actions." 

The assassination of Haniyeh, a prominent figure in the Palestinian resistance movement, has sparked outrage and calls for retaliation among Iranian officials and the public alike.

As tensions rise in the region, Pezeshkian's statements underscore Iran's commitment to supporting the Palestinian cause and resisting what it perceives as aggression from Israel and its allies. The Iranian government has long positioned itself as a defender of Palestinian rights, and this latest incident is likely to further galvanize support for that stance among its domestic and regional constituents.
