Iran military chief of staff: Iranian response to Haniyeh assassination ‘inevitable’
Iranian military chief of staff Mohammad Bagheri asserts that Iran’s response to last month’s Israeli assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran is “inevitable.”
“Iran will decide how and when to take revenge. The Axis of Resistance will avenge the blood of Ismail Haniyeh, each member according to their own plan and capacity. What we saw yesterday (Hezbollah’s attack on Israel) is part of the revenge,” he says.
