Iran is also clearly at war with Ukraine and must get some serious payback too.
Related : The DT reports that the Hamas terror boss has been whacked in Tehran:
“Ismail Haniyeh, the political leader of Hamas, has been killed in Tehran along with one of his bodyguards, Iran’s Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) said on Wednesday.
Haniyeh, the most senior Hamas official outside of Gaza and major power broker in hostage negotiations, was struck by an “airborne projectile” at 2am local time, while staying in a special veterans’ residence in northern Tehran.
Haniyeh was in Tehran to attend Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian’s swear-in ceremony, along with other major leaders of the so-called ‘Axis of Resistance’.
Senior Iranian officials blamed ‘zionists’ for the killing, while analysts on Iranian state television directly pointed the finger at Israel. Israel said it does not comment on foreign media reports.
It comes after Israel says it killed a top military leader of Iran-backed Hezbollah in Beirut, which threatened to escalate Middle East tensions into a regional war.
A senior member of the Revolutionary Guard told the New York Times the assassination was a declaration of war on Iran, although analysts cautioned that two previous leaders were killed by Israel in 2004.”
Also attending the assholes convention was a putinoid scrote : Irakli Kobakhidze, the PM of Georgia; to the eternal shame of all Georgians except a small cadre of putinaZi retards.
