The elimination of Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran is seen by the Iranian leaders not only as a serious violation of the sovereignty of the Islamic Republic but also as a personal blow to the leader of Iran himself, since Haniyeh was his guest at the inauguration ceremony of the new president, Masoud Pezeshkian.

From the statements of senior Iranian officials, including Khamenei himself, it is clear that Iran is not willing to ignore this act and intends to respond strongly against Israel, which it perceives as responsible for the elimination of the chairman of the Hamas Political Bureau. .

As the night of April 14 demonstrated, Iran is willing to use its missile and drone capabilities in response to its security challenges, and Tehran is likely to consider using these capabilities again this time. , while the regime's spokesmen have mentioned possible attacks against military bases in the Haifa and Tel Aviv areas.

Furthermore, the fact that the April attack "broke the psychological barrier" in Tehran in terms of attacking Israel directly could lead to another attack from Iran itself.

Unlike the events of April 14, the other Axis members, mainly Hezbollah, also intend to severely attack Israel this time in revenge for the elimination of Fuad Shukr in Beirut and the attack on the port of Hodeidah in Yemen.

It is possible that Iran and Hezbollah will combine their responses.

Either way, it appears that after Haniyeh's elimination, Iran is preparing for another round of violence against Israel, with the understanding that this event will exact a heavy price from the Jewish state.

However, despite the recent escalation, it is doubtful that Iran will expand its campaign against Israel and become trapped in a regional war.

However, it is clear that another round (and certainly if Iran seeks to expand Israel's targeting arsenal) significantly increases the possibility of direct conflict between Israel and Iran, especially when there is no "closing mechanism" that can force calm. between the two countries.

  1. Although Israel violated the covenant it had with its Creator Jehovah God, it is no less true that what God said according to Genesis 12:1-3 will continue to be fulfilled, particularly v. 3. Don't forget what happened to Chávez, the Turkish parliamentarian and Raisi. No one will be able against Israel, in the long run or in the short, God will destroy Israel's enemies.

    1. Israel did not violate the covenant with Hashem, it is better that you document yourself better and then you can give a true opinion.

  2. Was it necessary to kill Haniye in Tehran? Were the consequences not measured? Or should we add a new misfortune to this 9th of Ab for the Jewish people?

  3. Haniyeh went to claim his 72 virgin girls, just as the Koran teaches them... the problem is that this is not true... upon arriving in the Muslim "paradise" (hell) they find that they were deceived by Muhammad.

  4. The response to Iran and/or enemy eyes: "their flesh-eyes-tongue will dissolve" Zec 14:12 that they may go knowing.

  5. I have no evidence but I am sure that Iran killed Haniyeh in collaboration with Hamas, they killed him for political reasons, with impunity, since it is easy to accuse Israel without the need for evidence!!!
    Qatar had already threatened to expel him and he had nowhere to go, he could not return to Gaza because they killed him, Ramallah the same, no Muslim country wanted to receive him, not Turkey or Syria or Egypt or Jordan, not even South Africa, Brazil or Mexico, nobody!!!! He was an outlawed terrorist!!!!

  6. Yahya Synwhar chosen to replace Haniyeh would be the reason for his assassination, and accusing Israel justifies everything.
    WIN-WIN FOR SINWHAR, MORE POWER, MORE MONEY!!!!

  7. TRUE! Zechariah 14:1-15 together with Revelation 16:13-16 and Revelation 19:11-21 show us THE MOMENT WHEN ALL THE ARMIES OF THE WORLD WILL GET TOGETHER IN WAR AGAINST ISRAEL...it is the war known as THE WAR OF ARMAGEDDON, because In the VALLEY OF MEGIDO (Israel) ALL THE ARMIES OF THE WORLD will gather, and Iran will be one of those countries that will come to war against Israel, AND THE FLESH, THE EYES, AND THE TONGUE OF THOSE ENEMY SOLDIERS WILL DISMEL WHILE THEY STILL ARE STANDING...that happens when JESUS ​​CHRIST, THE MESSIAH, RETURN TO EARTH AND PLACE HIS FEET ON THE MOUNT OF OLIVES... HE WILL COME TO SAVE HIS PEOPLE FROM EXTERMINATION, AND THE REMAINDER OF THE JEWS WILL RECOGNIZE HIM AS THE MESSIAH, AND THEY WILL BE SAVED…
