Statement of Supreme leader of Iran

 Message of Condolence from the Supreme Leader following the martyrdom of the great fighter, Mr. Ismail Haniyeh

"We consider it our duty to seek revenge for our dear guest. The criminal and terrorist Zionist regime has paved the way for severe punishment for itself through this act. We recognize the obligation to seek retribution for Ismail Haniyeh, who was martyred within the borders of the Islamic Republic of Iran

In the name of Allah, the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful
'Indeed, we belong to Allah, and indeed to Him we will return
Dear people of Iran

The courageous and prominent Palestinian fighter, Mr. Ismail Haniyeh, joined the ranks of the martyrs in the early hours of today, mourning the great resistance front. The criminal and terrorist Zionist regime took our dear guest's life within our own home, but it also unwittingly created the grounds for its own severe punishment

Martyr Haniyeh had embraced martyrdom willingly after years of valiant struggle. He had dedicated his children and loved ones to this path. He did not hesitate to sacrifice himself for God's cause and the salvation of His servants. In this bitter and painful incident that occurred within the borders of the Islamic Republic, we recognize our duty to seek retribution for him

To the Islamic Ummah, the resistance front, the brave and proud Palestinian nation, and especially to the family and survivors of Martyr Haniyeh and his companions who also attained martyrdom, I offer my heartfelt condolences. May their ranks be elevated by the Almighty

Sayyid Ali Khamenei
