Iranian media says that Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh was killed by an airstrike in Tehran where he was attending the inauguration of Iran’s new president.
“Haniyeh, who had come to Iran for the inauguration ceremony of the president, was staying in one of the special residences for war veterans in north Tehran, when he was martyred by an air-launched missile,” the semi-official Fars news agency says. Other media carried the same statement.
