Iran

Sources in Jerusalem say that the US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken did, indeed, pass on a warning to G7 allies that there were indications that Iran could, within the next two days launch an attack on Israel. He didn't share the details of how and when.

According to the third statement released by the IRGC on the death of Haniyeh on Saturday, the attack has been carried out with the launching of some sort of short-range projectile from outside the residence of guests. This projectile had almost a 7 kg heavy warhead that caused an intense explosion. The incident has been attributed to an Israeli assault in Tehran. Details have been given by the Sepah News, the official news agency of the IRGC.

Local Hebrew media reports specify that Mossad used members of the elite unit Ansar al-Mahdi from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps to carry out an attack on Haniyeh.

However, there is concern that, unlike the previous incident four months ago, rallying the same regional and international coalition to support Israel might prove more challenging this time, as noted by Adnkronos news agency.

The order followed an emergency session Wednesday of Iran's Supreme National Security Council after the announcement of Haniyeh's death. Two of those officials are with the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps, The New York Times noted.

In the oath, Pezeshkian vowed to utilize all his capability to bear out his duties as the President of the Islamic Republic. In an address to follow, Pezeshkian called on the international community to "avail themselves of the valuable opportunity of solving regional and global problems with the participation of a powerful, peace-seeking, and dignified Iran," Mehr News reported.

Khamenei said the ground had been laid for Israel to be punished "severely" over the act.
