In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
The assassination of the martyred leader, the mujahid Ismail Haniyeh "Abu Al-Abed," is a cowardly zionist crime and a new aggression against our people and our nation, supported by the American administration.
The departure of leader Haniyeh is a significant national loss and a loss for our entire nation and the free people of the world, as he symbolized a great struggle and resistance, having dedicated his life to defending his people and resisting the fascist zionist occupation.
The enemy must realize that it is in an open confrontation with our entire nation and its peoples, and it must pay a high price for its ongoing crimes and follies against our people and our nation. The response must match the magnitude of the crime.
The enemy will not be able to break the will of resistance in our people, and Haniyeh's departure will only increase our resolve and adherence to the path of liberation until the occupation is eradicated from all our land.

🚨 BREAKING: The Iranian Revolutionary Guard announces the martyrdom of Ismail Haniyeh, head of the political bureau of Hamas, and a bodyguard of his following an attack in Tehran.
Glory to the martyrs.
Glory to the martyrs.

—
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
"And do not think of those who have been killed in the cause of Allah as dead. Rather, they are alive with their Lord, receiving provision."
With the highest expressions of pride and honor, the Martyr Izz El-Din al-Qassam Brigades exalt to our struggling Palestinian people, to the masses of our Arab and Islamic nation and its valiant resistance, and to the free people of the world, the martyr leader fighter, Ismail Abdul Salam Haniyeh – the leader of the Islamic Resistance Movement Hamas, who was ascended in a cowardly zionist assassination operation that targeted his residence in the Iranian capital, Tehran. In light of this Nazi crime, we affirm the following:
Firstly: The martyr leader "Abu al-Abd" ascended after a life filled with giving, jihad, and sacrifices, during which he accompanied various stages of the movement's development and its jihadist journey. He had clear contributions and imprints at various stations, offering much for our Palestinian cause. He played an important role in strengthening the resistance, unifying the efforts of the nation's sons, mobilizing their energies, and directing the compass towards Al-Quds. His life was sealed with martyrdom in the most honorable of battles, the "Battle of Al-Aqsa Flood," which our people and the free ones of our nation are fighting in defense of Al-Aqsa and the sanctities.
Secondly: The criminal assassination operation against leader Haniyeh in the heart of the Iranian capital is a pivotal and dangerous event which moves the battle to new dimensions and will have major repercussions for the entire region. The enemy has miscalculated by expanding the scope of aggression, assassinating resistance leaders in various arenas, and violating the sovereignty of the countries of the region. The criminal Netanyahu, blinded by the madness of grandeur, is leading the zionist entity towards the abyss, hastening its collapse and removal from the land of Palestine once and for all.
Thirdly: The time has come for this zionist arrogance to stop, for this raging enemy to be curbed, and for its hand, which is wreaking havoc here and there, to be cut off to deter it from its aggression. The enemy's continuous crimes in various arenas sound the alarm for all the countries and peoples of the region. This must motivate everyone to support and back the resistance in Palestine, as it is the advanced line of defense for the entire nation. Hence, the enemy is striving to break and subdue it to focus on the greater aggression against the nation's countries and peoples.
Fourthly: The blood of our leader Ismail Haniyeh, which today mixes with the blood of Gaza's children, women, youth, and elders, and with the blood of the sons and fighters of our people and nation, confirms that the resistance and its leaders are at the heart of the battle alongside their people. This pure and precious blood to Allah will certainly not be in vain but will be a beacon on the path of liberation. The enemy will pay the price for its aggression with its [own] blood in Gaza, the West Bank, inside its illegitimate entity, and wherever the hands of our people's fighters and our nation reach, by Allah's will.
"And Allah is predominant over His affair, but most of the people do not know."

Statement No. 2
As informed to the noble and esteemed people of Islamic Iran, all members of the Islamic Ummah, and the fighters of the glorious resistance front, in the early hours of this morning, Wednesday, the great fighter Dr. Ismail Haniyeh, the esteemed head of the political bureau of Hamas, along with one of his brave guards, were martyred in a terrorist attack by the cowardly and criminal zionist regime at his residence in Tehran.
Martyr Haniyeh was among the distinguished personalities of approximately 110 foreign delegations invited by the respected Islamic Consultative Assembly to participate in the "inauguration ceremony of the 14th President of the Islamic Republic of Iran," having made numerous visits to our country in recent years, especially after the historic Al-Aqsa Flood operation.
This crime demonstrated that the criminal, murderous, and terrorist zionist gang, disregarding international rules and regulations, spares no criminal action to cover up its humiliating defeats in the 9-month war in Gaza, which has resulted in the massacre of tens of thousands of Palestinian women, men, and children.
Undoubtedly, this crime by the zionist regime will be met with a severe and painful response from the powerful and grand resistance front, especially the Islamic [Replublic of] Iran, and the blessings of the jihadist efforts of the Martyr of Al-Quds Dr. Ismail Haniyeh in defending the cause and rights of the Palestinian people will support them.
With the strong condemnation of this vile and criminal act, and with condolences and congratulations on the martyrdom of the esteemed commander of Hamas and the Islamic resistance of Palestine, and his brave guard, the appreciative and revolutionary people of Iran are informed that the programs for the funeral ceremony of the esteemed martyrs will be announced by the Islamic Propagation Coordination Council.
