Iran is in a state of mourning after the assassination of Hamas chief, Ismail Haniyeh, in Tehran. Ayatollah Khamenei, the Supreme Leader of Iran, will lead the funeral prayers at the University of Tehran on Thursday, August 1. The government has declared three days of public mourning for Haniyeh, who was killed in a special residence in northern Tehran by an aerial projectile.
Ayatollah Khamenei has issued a strong warning to the Zionist regime, promising a “harsh punishment” for the assassination of Haniyeh. The news has sparked outrage across Iran and other parts of the Middle East, as Haniyeh was a prominent figure in the Palestinian resistance movement.
The funeral service is expected to draw large crowds as people come together to pay their respects to Haniyeh’s memory. The involvement of Ayatollah Khamenei adds a sense of importance and reverence to the event, highlighting the significance of Haniyeh’s role in the region.
