The head of Britain’s MI6 foreign spy agency Richard Moore says he believes Iran is still planning to retaliate for the killing of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh, which took place in Tehran in late July and which Iran blames on Israel.
“I suspect they will try and we won’t be able to let our guard down for the type of activity that the Iranians might try and prosecute in that direction,” Moore says at an FT event when asked about whether Iran would retaliate.
Israel has neither claimed nor denied responsibility for the Tehran blast that killed the terror leader.
