Reports apparently coming from the Islamic Revolutionary Guards in Iran say that the leader of Hamas' political bureau, Ismail Haniyeh, has been shot dead in Tehran, along with a member of his security detail. Haniyeh was visiting Tehran to take part in the swearing in of the new Iranian president, Masoud Pezeshkian, and the two men met in the Iranian capital earlier this week.
In its first official statement, Hamas said that there had been an airstrike on the Haniyeh's location in Tehran.

"Hamas announces with sorrow to the Palestinian people and the Arab nation that leader Ismail Haniyeh, head of Hamas' political bureau, was killed in an Israeli attack on his location in Tehran, after attending the ceremony of the new Iranian president."

Remember that helicopter crash that took out the Iranian president a few months back?
That was most likely the set up for this day.

Israel always seems to have really good human agents in Iran, somehow. They can always reach out and "touch" whoever they want. They always seem to know what Iran's nuclear program is doing. Pretty impressive, IMHO.

The ME is going hot. This is going to make the Ukrainian proxy war look like a playground squabble.
