Iran has pledged severe retaliation against Israel following the assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran. The country’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, condemned the attack and has ordered a direct strike on Israel, according to the New York Times.
Although Israel has not claimed responsibility, it has confirmed an earlier strike that killed a senior Hezbollah leader in Lebanon, raising fears of a broader regional escalation.
Meanwhile, the Biden administration is actively engaging with regional counterparts to prevent a broader conflict and ease escalating tensions.
