In the hours after Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh was assassinated in Tehran on Wednesday, speculation emerged that an Israeli airstrike, missile, or drone attack, among other possibilities, caused the fatal explosion. However, Haniyeh was killed by a bomb smuggled into the guesthouse where he was staying, The New York Times reported.
“The bomb had been hidden approximately two months ago in the guesthouse,” the publication reported, citing five Middle Eastern officials. “The guesthouse is run and protected by the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps [IRGC] and is part of a large compound, known as Neshat, in an upscale neighborhood of northern Tehran.”
