Iran Guards readying to avenge Hamas leader’s death, Quds Force head tells Sinwar

Iranian Revolutionary Guards’ Quds Force chief Ismail Qaani says in a letter to new Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar that Tehran will avenge the killing of his predecessor who was killed in the Iranian capital last week.

“We are preparing to avenge his blood, a painful and difficult incident that happened in the Islamic Republic of Iran. This is our duty,” Qaani tells Sinwar about the assassination of Ismail Haniyeh. He didn’t elaborate on how Teheran will avenge Haniyeh’s death.

Qaani indicates that the retaliation will be harsher than a mid-April missile and drone attack that Iran launched against Israel to avenge an Israeli airstrike on the Iranian consulate in the Syrian capital in which two Iranian generals were killed.

Qaani vows Tehran “will be with you on the road of resistance until we achieve the divine promise which is to clear Jerusalem.”
