The Neshat compound after the assassination. Via X.
Iranian media has rejected a report by The New York Times claiming that Ismail Haniyeh, the political leader of the Palestinian Hamas Movement, was killed by an explosive device hidden in his room two months before the hit.
The newspaper, citing five Middle Eastern officials, reported on August 1 that the explosive device was hidden in the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps-run guesthouse in the Neshat compound in the northern outskirts of the Iranian capital, Tehran.
It detailed that the device was detained remotely around 2:00 am local time on July 31. The blast shook the building, shattered windows and partially collapsed an exterior wall.
The meticulous planning behind the attack was such that, despite the proximity of Ziyad al-Nakhalah, leader of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, who was staying next door, his room sustained minimal damage, as claimed by two Iranian officials, according to the newspaper.
It is not clear who are the Middle Eastern officials cited by The New York Times, and if they are from countries friendly with Iran.
The newspaper claims were denied by the Fars News Agency, which said that Haniyeh’s room in the Neshat compound was targeted with “an air-launched guided projectile.”
“These lies are being propagated while the results of the experts’ investigation indicate that Haniyeh was struck by a projectile, in which involvement of the Zionist regime cannot be ruled out,” the news agency said in a report, hinting at The New York Times.
Haniyeh was in the Iranian capital to attend the swearing-in ceremony of Iranian President Massoud Pezeshkian. Hamas said that he was killed and one of his bodyguards, without providing any details. Israel didn’t claim responsibility on the official level.
To date, Iranian officials have not commented on the specific circumstances surrounding the assassination of the Palestinian leader.
Iran vowed to respond to the assassination with Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei reportedly ordering a direct strike against Israel.
The serious reaction from Tehran may have pushed Israel and allies to manipulate the story of how Haniyeh was killed. A planted explosive device can be considered more of an act of sabotage, while a strike can be seen as a direct attack on Iranian territory.

the joo yawk time$ is a lying organ of the dying anglozionazi empire of filth. it spews poison and evil each time the foul organ spreads its chosenite narrative of carnage. keep the red flag flying and go for the serpent’s head, iran. the world stands on the side of palestine and the heroes of resistance to the $atanic beast which must and no doubt will be avenged.
the evil nazi boboscammer iranian childrapist regime is a lying organ and a systemic failure in the middle east!
imagine that! a building secured and guarded by the most elite of iranian securities hidden along the outskirts of tehran, yet failed to identify and detect a booby trapped sneaky sticky bomb hidden inside the room in the past two months?
that’s a lot of lowly intelligent iranian piece of $hit right there!
says the talmudist, who worships satan. ha! take a look at your shitty country israel. and compare to iran. iran is doing much better while you get gangbanged from all angles thanks to your tiny hats and tiny brains
if iran is doing better, then i should have been alive. but i”m dead thanks to iranian stupidity not using their brains
i am low life loser with no balls just marbles
the sf propaganda out of the touch with the reality once again.
western media in herre have confirmed the missile strike.
story in the new york times was co-written by ronen bergman, the author of “rise and kill first”, on israeli assassinations, to give it some semblance of credibility
what will iran respond? volley of rockets ? hhaahahha. the last time they unleashed rockets to israel, only 1 out of 300+ ever reached and landed in israeli soil and over half of them malfuntioned and failed midflight! hahaha. typical iranian idiots
its bcuz iran told us i hour before that they r going to launch attack on israel. think if iran will not tell us and attack directly on israel. what will happen. last time 8 missile hit zionist thuga bu they hid the casulties. this time it want be 300 it will times 3 of it. or it will same assiantion of zionist commander
i eat poop for a snack
haahahah idiot
i tend to agree.
your mind clouded by propaganda won’t keep up. iran’s strike was a success, it cheaply cost israel hundreds of millions. in addition, it significantly reduced israel’s anti-aircraft capacity by consuming anti-aircraft missiles. this created such a panic that netanyahu himself went to ask congress for more missiles to irondome.even though irondome is israeli, its parts come from the usa.
this is it! hezbolla fucktards crossed the line when their iranian made rocket fell and killed 12 arab israeli muslim children. then they said we didn’t do that. bunch of liars like assahollahs.
then shitbollahs crying like b!tches when a surgical strike killed the most senior leader.
you have all messed it up again. israel killed irani president and then killed hamas leader preparing for inauguration of the new president and it was not by a missile, but by bomb to humiliate ircg servicemen and give them a strong message that they are the next ones on the list. and these children in golan height were not jewish and the sa rocket hoax was only the excuse to fool idiots in un.
that’s it! i’m dead!
correction: double dead. but allah gave me 72 virgins. but no more doha plaza and mia khalifa for me anymore.
why has everyone in tehran been stupid? if a missile launched from the air to the ground there will be pieces of rockets found on the site, pure and simple, if its a bomb planted shrapnel will explode outdoors sided, and if is missile makes a hole and there will be remnants from the damn rocket. what is so hard here to be determined?
exactly. ballistic missile would damage the roof but it is intact. cruise missile could penetrate the facade , but not so low to the ground in mountain area. drone with such payload would be huge and visible and easy to shot down. so it was a bomb planted inside the building and iran is lying once again to save some face.
or a drone, why necessary a bomb? oh it’s more daring, right right right but yeah, drone, from within iran, also sounds pretty daring, no? or are they not yet already back with the video, like qassam 🍉
not as much as in servia, though.
iran needs to taste its new hypersonic missile vs mossad&shin bet wolf´s den
the problem is that stupid iran generals and armed forces have no clue how to use missiles, how to locate targets inside israel and how to bypass their air defence. you can’t expect that israeli services are so stupid to let the enemy plant bombs inside the protected areas. it is not the first time israel blasted sensitive targets in iran, they are doing that on regular basis inside the most protected buildings like government ones, nuclear labs, airports, gatherings…
we will see if they can locate targets. they found your little base that was ‘the most secure’ in all israel, so that you had to lie about it like you do about all your losses. i’m pretty sure that the hudhud video and targets hezbollah acquired flying their drone all over israel, safely i might add, are available to iran. then there was yemen,who made tel aviv unsafe.
the outcome is 100 percent clear. iran will try something on israel, sparking huge war, which will end with disaster for iran, israel will be even bigger and even stronger then anytime before.
that’s probably what israel wants, which is why they’re trying to provoke iran into a war to draw in the us. that will end in disaster for everyone involved.
sorry but the picture itself debunks official iran’s story about a missile. the building is not very high. probably around 25 m only. it seems to be located in mountain area. the problem with cruise missiles attacking in mountain area is that they can’t use flat trajectory (which they often do to evade radars) but must attack in steep angle from above. but as you see, roof is intact. moreover, you can see a lot of debris around the building, confirming the blast from inside.
you can admit, it was not a missile but a suicide drone. but this theory is not valid as well. the building is massive and the force of the blast was huge. image is suggesting huge blast from inside, at least 50kg of tnt but probably even more. so if it was clearly not a missile and not a drone (small drone will not be able to cause that damage and big one will left a lot of parts and debris). so clearly, ircg guard let israeli spy to plant 50kg bomb right under their nose.
thermoberic atgm fired directly into the window.
“the meticulous planning behind the attack was such that, despite the proximity of ziyad al-nakhalah, leader of the palestinian islamic jihad, who was staying next door, his room sustained minimal damage”?!
who knew who was going to be staying in which room two months prior when this bomb was allegedly planted?
why spare al-nakhalah?
maybe there are other 100 more bombs in similar buildings and mossad spies just watch them all in real time, selecting target good enough to kill. and maybe it is not just about the buildings. it seems that israel has easy job to bypass ircg security and that they are doing it regularly. in that light, the fatal accident of president’s helicopter doesn’t look as an accident anymore, because israel could plant a bomb inside his helicopter easily and make it look as an accident.
maybe,maybe,maybe…maybe you’re just full of shit too.
bastardi sa už začínajú vyhovárať. zrejme im došlo, že pichli do osieho hniezda. ale už je neskoro. mlieko sa rozlialo. teraz budú musieť strpieť následky!!! a ak nie tak tu budú mať plnohodnotnú vojnu. a s tej zrejme nebudú moc nadšení.
iranians leaders are retards.
and sf is promoting retards which makes them double retards
sfront is a mentally retarded voda intoxicated site like its promoters here inside
the pro zionist trolls are the most dumb around here
it is still wise of you to read here!
if you don’t seem very intelligent, you have at least realized that a little education can hide this
its a signal to everyone outside iran that going to iran as long as iran is an enemy of isreal can get you killed and a sign in iran that they can kill anyone if they dont behave. we will probably see the new government find a reason to lower the support of huthis, hezbolah and hamas soon.
oh now suddenly a photo of the aftermath appears after days 😏 a photo to cover something iran?
here’s another hint, i know israel and how arrogant they are everytime they carryout an attack their always arrogantly upload footage of the airstrike follow by pictures nothing have been published until now , gotcha iran and israel 😏 still doubt me.
i’m an inbred retarded pinhead. yippy
i married my goat
no more mia khalifa and doha plaza for me :(
also , no more dollar bills for me.
however, gaza’s sky is black but qatar is always sunny
assassinations change nothing fundamental–they only escalate
