The early Wednesday morning assassination in Tehran of Hamas’ Politburo head Ismail Haniyeh, attributed to Israel, reportedly caused a panic in the senior ranks of the Iranian regime.
Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh flashes a victory sign as he's surrounded by lawmakers at the Iran ian parliament in Tehran, Iran on July 30, 2024.He was staying at a supposedly secret guesthouse operated by Iran ’s Revolutionary Guard Corps at the time of his death.
His sudden departure from the scene will at least temporarily destabilize and subvert the financial networks and military supply lines he oversaw and perhaps undermine Hamas’ political warfare operations. It highlights the fact that Hamas is not an independent entity. To date, Haniyeh and his colleagues haven’t budged from their opening position that in exchange for the release of a small fraction of the 115 hostages still in Gaza, Israel agree to lose the war, removing its forces from Gaza and permitting Hamas to retain its political control of the terror mini-state and rebuild its forces.
The attack raises general awareness in Iran and across the region that the regime, hated by the vast majority of Iran’s citizenry, is weak and hollow.
