Iranian source Refutes NYT Story about Assassination of Haniyeh

 An informed source dismissed a report by The New York Times on the details of assassination of Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran.

Speaking to Tasnim on Saturday, the informed source said the story run by The New York Times on August 1, which claimed that Haniyeh has been assassinated by an explosive device covertly smuggled into his residence in Tehran, is “riddled with lies”, another episode of the “psychological operation” by the Zionists (Israel), and void of news values.

Pointing to the record of Ronen Bergman, one of the three authors of the report, the source said it reveals why the article does not merit attention.

  1. Recruiting agents from within the ranks of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, the Mossad managed to plant the explosives in the Tehran hostel where Hamas leader Ismail Haniya was staying.
    This is reported by an article in the British Telegraph, amid information that the authorities in Tehran are making a series of arrests in connection with the murder.

    The Telegraph report appears to confirm similar information published by the New York Times which claimed that the Hamas leader was not killed in an airstrike as claimed by Iran.

    The Telegraph quoted two Iranian officials as saying the initial plan was to assassinate Haniya during his visit to Tehran last May for the funeral of Ibarim Raisi, who was killed in a helicopter crash.

    This operation was postponed due to the large number of people in the building and the high probability of failure.

  2. Iran’s new strike on Israel may turn out to be broader than its April assault, the Wall Street Journal writes.

    The paper points out that in April, Iran launched more than 300 drones and missiles towards Israel, "but only after telegraphing its response to diplomats ahead of time and giving Israel and the US time to prepare." As a result, "most of the projectiles were shot down before reaching Israel." However, "this time, Israel and its allies are operating in a vacuum."

  3. Tehran blames Israel for the killing of Ismail Haniyeh, head of the political bureau of the Palestinian movement Hamas, and plans to take revenge "at the appropriate time," Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said in a statement following an investigation.

  4. Iran’s Revolutionary Guards said Saturday that Israel killed Hamas political chief Ismail Haniyeh using a “short-range projectile” launched from outside of his accommodation in Tehran.

    “This terrorist operation was carried out by firing a short-range projectile with a warhead of about 7 kilograms -- causing a strong explosion - from outside the accommodation area,” the Guards said in a statement.

    It added that Israel was “supported by the United States” in the attack.
