Deputy Commander of Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Brigadier General Ali Fadavi says his country will definitely punish the Israeli regime in due time and place for assassinating Hamas political chief Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran.

According to The Iran Project, the senior military official made the comment on Monday in the southwestern province of Khuzestan where he visited the Shalamcheh border crossing with Iraq. He was speaking with reporters on the sidelines of his visit.

“The fake and child-killing Zionist regime continued its stupidity and martyred Haniyeh on Iranian soil, and we will give an appropriate response in due time and place”, Fadavi said.

The Hamas chief was martyred in Tehran on July 31, a day after he attended the inaugural of Iran’s new president Masoud Pezeshkian. Haniyeh lost his life in an Israeli attack on his accommodation.
