Iran has commenced a comprehensive investigation into the assassination of Hamsa leader Ismail Haniyeh at his Tehran guesthouse...

The investigation's intensity highlights the damaging and shocking nature of the security breach.

In response to this significant security lapse, Iran has arrested more than two dozen individuals, including senior intelligence officers, military officials, and staff at a military-run guesthouse in Tehran.

These arrests follow a major breach that enabled the assassination of the prominent Hamas leader, according to sources familiar with the investigation.

 

The fervent response to Haniyeh's killing underscores the devastating nature of the security failure for Iran's leadership. The assassination took place at a heavily guarded compound in Tehran, mere hours after the swearing-in ceremony of the new president.

“The perception that Iran can neither protect its homeland nor its key allies could be fatal for the Iranian regime because it basically signals to its foes that if they can’t topple the Islamic Republic, they can decapitate it,” said Ali Vaez, the Iran director for the International Crisis Group.

Officials from both the Middle East and Iran have indicated that the deadly blast resulted from a bomb planted in Haniyeh’s room up to two months before his arrival, according to the NYT.

Hosting a conference of Euro­pean leaders on Monday night, the French leader refused to rule out the dispatch of Western troops to Ukraine as Russia’s invasion stretches into its third year and Kyiv’s military campaign appears to be faltering. “ We will do whatever it takes to ensure that Russia cannot win this war, ” Macron added.
