Iran has detained more than two dozen people, including senior intelligence officers, military officials and staff at a military guesthouse in Tehran, according to people familiar with the investigation. The newspaper added that the furious reaction to Haniyeh's killing underscores how devastating a security failure the incident has been for Iran's leadership, as the killing took place at a heavily guarded facility in the country's capital, hours after the inauguration ceremony of Iran's new president, Masoud Pezeshkian. As reported by Regnum news agency, Ismail Haniyeh and one of his bodyguards were killed on the night of July 31 as a result of a missile strike on his house in Tehran. Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has ordered the military to launch a direct strike on Israel in retaliation for the assassination of the head of the Politburo. As the media noted, attempts by various countries to stop Iran from retaliating against Israel are pointless, since the attack will be swift and brutal. According to the Deputy Head of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Mikhail Bogdanov, the death of Haniyeh is a political assassination, and what happened will have a very negative impact on the progress of the Middle East peace talks that are taking place in Doha.
