Iran says Hamas leader Haniyeh was killed by short-range projectile

Iran's Revolutionary Guards said on Saturday that Palestinian group Hamas' leader Ismail Haniyeh was slain in Tehran by a short-range projectile with a warhead of about 7 kg, and vowed severe revenge. 

Wednesday's assassination has aroused fears of direct conflict between Tehran and its arch-enemy Israel in a region shaken by Israel's war in Gaza and a worsening conflict in Lebanon.
