Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei has ordered a direct strike on Israel in response to the assassination of Ismail Haniyeh, the political leader of the Palestinian Hamas Movement, in the Iranian capital, Tehran, The New York Times reported on July 31.
Citing three unnamed Iranian officials briefed on the matter, including two from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), the newspaper said that Khamenei gave the directive at an emergency meeting of the Supreme National Security Council held shortly after Haniyeh’s killing was announced.
As part of the order, the officials said Khamenei told army and IRGC commanders to prepare both attack and defense plans “in the event that the war expands and Israel or the United States strike Iran.”
Among the options being weighed is a combined drone and missile assault — similar to Iran’s direct attack on Israel several months ago — on military targets around the cities of Tel Aviv and Haifa, according to the officials, who asserted that Iran would go out of its way not to strike civilian sites.
The officials also told The New York Times that military commanders are considering launching the attack in coordination with Iran’s allies in the Middle East “for maximum effect,” naming Yemen, Syria and Iraq.
Hamas said that Haniyeh and one of his bodyguards were killed after the building where they were staying in Tehran was struck. Iranian authorities have not provided any details on the assassination as of yet. Israel didn’t claim responsibility on the official level.
Khamenei had met with Haniyeh before the assassination. The leader was in Tehran to attend the inauguration ceremony of Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian.
“With this action, the criminal and terrorist Zionist regime prepared the ground for harsh punishment for itself, and we consider it our duty to seek revenge for his blood as he was martyred in the territory of the Islamic Republic of Iran,” Khamenei said in a statement on the assassination.
The assassination of Haniyeh came just a few hours after an Israeli strike on the Lebanese capital, Beirut, killed Fuad Shukr, a senior military commander of Hezbollah. This will for sure increase the possibility of a joint strike by Iran and its allies against Israel.
With Israel on high alert for a possible response, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned in an address to the nation on July 31 that “challenging days are ahead,” but vowed the country was “ready for every scenario” and “will exact a very heavy price for any aggression against us.”
The recent assassinations may be an attempt by Israel to provoke a full-on regional war with Iran and its allies in order to make up for the failure in the Palestinian enclave of the Gaza Strip.

nothing will be done. a tough response is what they need.
iran should first reinforce its counter-intelligence and clean his own ranks from traitors.
everybody including resistance fighters should remove mark fuckerberg software whatsapp. this is an israeli spyware like microsoft, they use trojans like pegasus to track and ping geo data. nso group is even being sued by whatsapp and the jews are refusing to cooperate in the court case. boycott all their products. intelligent people do not use microsoft windows, whatsapp, fakebook, all that israeli-american garbage
ur kind is subhuman and u know it
dont be so hard on yourself, rabbi
gestapo is a half-wit neo-nazi. he should join the front v russia and make the world a better place.
zionist israhel will lose this war and be wiped off the map in few years, but before that day it will have its day in victory. but that wont last nearly as long as they hope for…. approx 10/15 years there will be no zionist state
i just pooped my pants
oops i did it again
oh man, you’re so naive. ordinary people can spy on you if they have your phone no, fb, gmail, viber, all that. nothing new old as jesus’s donkey. also, there was like 10-11 years ago that thing that spread like wild fire all around called ‘selfie’, after that they in samsung, etc. introduced front cameras, so they can spy on you on both sides. so, regularly switch to airplane mode and turn off your phone.
yes, and warning the enemy that you are going to strike him, is in fact directly helping him to not get hurt. so the whole “direct strike” on israel is just a lame duck. saddam with his scuds that was a real answer from a real man. he sent dozens of these rockets without warning into tel aviv and other parts of israel – thats what iran needs to do – at least. if clever they let houthis or syria or iraq do it.
this assassination is a mystery. 1st thing how did a missle manage to fly through the air defense of iran to hit a target in iran capital? 2nd how did they not pick up a flight of jet or missile heading towards them????
shitty russian technologie manned by shithollas…nuff said
cope harder kapo!
russia continues to refuse to sell s400 to iran…..very strange. russia should stop pandering to israel
soviet union was founded by jews after 1917 jewish revolution there. they killed the legitimate russian czar and replaced his government with a solely jewish cabal of demons & massmurderers, which announced themselves as “soviet government” with sverdlov and all the other jews at top. jewtin likes communism and nce even openly said that quote “the collapse of the soviet union was a big tragidy and catastrophy.”
the old russia was killed by the bolshevics and they created a bolshevic led russia. the russia we have now is one that slowly starts open the bolshevic bindings but very slowly.
talking to yourself much, gopnik faggot? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
my sentiments exactly!
their made in china air defense radars cannot detect a sneaky missile coming from behind
@thomas. hallelujah !! at least one guy here finally started to ask the right question !! yes, here we go. questions that noone in the western media nor from iranian side so far spoke about. so more and more i feel it was a coordinated joint israeli+iran(ian traitors) operation. this could not have happened without treason from within iran itself !!
it would make sense not to reveal what you know of the attacks, to potentially catch the perpetrators, and give the country/ies behind it no idea what you know. i personally doubt it was a missile fired from a plane, considering the precision, only a hellfire or equivalent could be used, and their range is short. a drone from within iran is more likely
what kind of air defence do they even have. the russians refused to deliver even s 300 in the past. they suposedly got some mix of chinese and domestic s300 copy but does it work well together? the problem with these things is that people build the stuff and people want money. and the banking cartel can print infinete money. as long as this is the case every intel they want they will buy.
talking to yourself much, gopnik faggot? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
shithollas will do nothing, just like the pathetic assholes they truely are.
nothing.
lol.
oer 50,000 businesses have finished in israel.
tourism is dead.
the nation is bankrupt.
and they are about to run out of iron dome missiles.
then the fun will begin- we will see tel aviv and all the f@ggot jews get burnt to te ground.
and we will see it all recorded and enjoyed by all
the end of the pig jew is very close
popcorn time jew bagger
@jens yes.. the bankrupt jews.. havent we all heard about that … the wet fire, the no-wet water, the submarine flying towards the sun .. oh come on !!! as long as anywhere on earth there’s even one jew alive, these creatures are not bankrupt, because even one of them is a such dangerous leech to the nations, that this one alone will extract enough money from the no-nothing christian & muslim folks that he and nobody in israel will ever have to work for their bread.
there is of course some small pressure applied onto israel through the houthis. but as long a iran & hezbollah not cut all ship traffic from the mediterrain going to israel, no real pressure or heat is felt in israel. starving these vermins to death can only be achieved by isolating and blocking them completely from both sides !!
my friend ayatolla assaholla will stop at nothing even his own death
a brand new infrastructure is needed, american-israeli system is trash, their culture is depraved. boycott their systems and products. they can track people through phones, phones are the most leaky devices they are built to spy on you. you need to get a phone that is specially engineered to avoid tracking. there are ways. assassinations which require missiles require gps coordinates. phones gives the best gps coordinates
here is a list of mossad and nsa products to avoid and ditch for good: microsoft windows, google, facebook, whatsapp, expressvpn, cisco routers…they are trying to crack apple too, they pay big money to get zero day exploits in apple. you simply need to walk off the american israeli plantation
gay spy’s and pedophiles
they literally are the ones running the pedo networks on the internet. depending on how you enter urls, people have shown there is child porn hanging out on the websites of popular companies owned by you know who (you can’t criticize them at all because that’s racist). this was alongside the pizzagate scandal with the harddrive conventiently shot by the conspiracy theorist at (c)omet (p)ingpong. right in front of everyone for the extra thrills.
the sane world wants justice and that entails incinerating the cabal of demons the khazar entity calls its “government”. make them smolder already. humanity can no longer tolerate these evil psychopathic supremacist thug$.
that’s it! i’m dead!
-ismael haniyeh , july 31, 2024
bout damn time, what took him so long?
let’s say bring it on ! fack around find out!
that’s it! i’m dead :(
martyrs don’t die, they are alive.
absolutely!
they need to target individual zionist officials and high ranking military see how they like it.
i most certainly would include any and all israeli government criminals who are ordering these attacks. the knesset, idf headquarters and all government buildings and assets are fair targets. the international quarter of tel aviv should be hit as well, this is where the collaboration takes place. oil depots and wells, electrical generation and all infrastructure that the state depends on as well. then there are the air bases they use for their attacks.
last time iran notist were the cowards helpers put the air defencs to shoot down the decoys from iran. the nato and uk and us jets that were in the sky to protect the devil master. now this stuf will first be eliminated before the big bang smashed the command centers, tel aviv, haifa, dimona, ben gurion…. hamas was stupid the time the iron dome was firing at themselfs after 11 000 roket craquers and the parasites run to egypt for seas fire !!!
nato = netanyahu’s abuse and trannies organisation
because the zionists are human beasts, there is no deed they cannot do. the only problem for them is that pathologically resorting to brutality does not help solve their problems. it only increases their ist of enemies. but they are too stoopid to understand that. behaving like a remorseless animal does not win the long game
it’s far worse than being remorseless. they actively take pleasure from being vindictive to people who haven’t even done anything to them in any way.
“even the best of the goyim must be killed.” killing a goy, any goy, is a mitzvah, a praiseworthy act.
yea! and israel is shaking in their boots. lol.
empty threats.
looks like that you’re shaken. a bit. more to come.
talking to yourself much, gopnik faggot? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
this was not an air/missile strike on tehran penetrating air defences.
it was a bomb physically placed in a building by us proxy terrorists, mek.
my dad is my uncle and my mom is my sister. i’m an inbred hermaphrodite subhuman pinhead. yeah!!!
do it fast and hard !
the jews must go, be culled to zero or made to run! nothing else will make the me a peaceful part of the world! similarities between adolf hitler and benjamin netanyahu, both criminals with similar agendas, thus:
both engage in genocide; both are intent on more land as in lebensraum, copy hitler for a greater israel. both operated/operates concentration camps. ah places like ravensbruck and buchenwal and copy hitler has his outdoor concentration camp gaza where some 2 million palestinians are living under inhuman conditions. in general the extention of the jews presence in palestine is by theft and murder.
the world decided that ah had to go and now the world will have to decide to send the jews packing, they deserve to be eliminated, their track record over the last 200 years tells us they don’t deserve more chances. – off with their heads – from the river to the sea!
