On July 31, local time, Haniyeh, the former leader of the Political Bureau of the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), was assassinated in Tehran, the capital of Iran. Iran subsequently accused Israel of being the mastermind behind the assassination and vowed to retaliate. In recent days, the US government has been sending messages to Iran through its European allies and other countries, asking Iran to exercise "restraint" and saying that if Iran launches a large-scale attack on Israel, the Iranian government and economy may suffer a devastating blow.
On August 10, Iranian Supreme Leader's political adviser Shamkhani said that Iran has been prepared to severely punish Israel through legal, diplomatic and media procedures. Iranian Revolutionary Guard Deputy Commander Fadavi said that Iranian Supreme Leader Khamenei's order to severely punish Israel is clear, and Iran is implementing the order in the best possible way. In addition, military exercises have been conducted in many military regions in Iran. Under the current situation, such military actions have a deterrent effect.
Iran's permanent representative to the United Nations said on the 10th that Iran has the legitimate right to defend itself against Israel's assassination, which has nothing to do with the ceasefire in Gaza. Iran hopes that the response will be timely and will not affect the potential ceasefire agreement. In addition, the representative also said that achieving a lasting ceasefire in the Gaza Strip is Iran's priority, and Iran will recognize any agreement accepted by Hamas.
In addition, in response to the death of Shukur, an important military commander of Hezbollah in Lebanon, in an Israeli attack on the southern suburbs of Beirut, the capital of Lebanon on July 30, Hezbollah also announced that it would take retaliatory military measures against Israel.
After Shukur was killed in the attack, Lebanese Hezbollah leader Nasrallah made it clear that Hezbollah's response was imminent. Nasrallah also said that Hezbollah might take military action alone or after coordinating with other resistance groups.
There are media reports in the United States that Hezbollah in Lebanon may take independent military action before Iran.
