Iran's supreme leader says it's their 'duty to avenge blood' of Hamas leader Haniyeh

Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has condemned the assassination of Hamas political bureau leader Ismail Haniyeh, saying Iran considers it a duty to "avenge the dear guest's blood."

The statement came hours after Haniyeh, who was in Tehran to attend Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian's swearing-in ceremony, was killed at his residence in the capital city in the early hours of Wednesday morning.
