Beijing, August 7 (Xinhua) -- Ismail Haniyeh, former leader of the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) Political Bureau, was assassinated by Israel while attending the inauguration ceremony of the new Iranian President Pezerhizzian in Tehran. In response, Iran vowed to retaliate, and the United States, Britain, France and other parties called on relevant parties to exercise restraint and avoid escalation of the situation.

How might Iran respond to the assassination in its own capital? What impact will it have on the regional situation? Please see the analysis:

The Arc of Resistance group responded?

Ali Akbar Ahmadian, secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, said in an interview with Iranian media that all members of the "Arc of Resistance" would participate in the revenge operation for Haniyeh's assassination. The "Arc of Resistance" is an anti-Israel alliance led by Iran, whose members include Hamas, Lebanon's Hezbollah, Yemen's Houthi armed forces and some Iraqi militias.

In addition to Haniyeh, Israel also assassinated a senior commander of Hezbollah in Lebanon. Hezbollah leader Nasrallah said on the 6th that Israel would take "strong revenge" for the assassination of Hezbollah senior military commander Fuad Shukur. A member of the Houthi armed political bureau said that retaliation against Israel's killing of Palestinians and Hezbollah commanders in Lebanon will come from "all sides" and the "Arc of Resistance" will retaliate. Hamas issued a statement on the 6th saying that Yahya Sinwar replaced Haniyeh as the leader of the Hamas Political Bureau. This person is regarded by Israel as one of the main planners of the Hamas-led attack on Israel on October 7, 2023.
