Iran's Ambassador Iraj Elahi Speaks Out: Haniyeh’s Assassination, Rising Death Toll, and U.S. Role

Iran’s Ambassador to India, Dr. Iraj Elahi, has condemned the assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh, attributing it to Israel.

He detailed that Haniyeh was killed by a projectile with a 7-kilogram explosive and argued that Israel’s history of unclaimed attacks supports its involvement. Elahi emphasized Iran’s right to retaliate and urged India, given its significant influence and relations with Israel, to use its power to help end the crisis and promote peace in the region. #Iran'sAmbassador #Dr.IrajElahi #Haniyeh’sAssassination #RisingDeathToll #U.S.Role

Iran To Burn Israel With Russian Missiles | Putin's Big Message To Khamenei

Russia has reportedly transferred Iskander missile systems and Murmansk-BN electronic warfare systems to Iran, using IL-76 military aircraft. This follows threats from Iran to retaliate against Israel for Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh's assassination. The systems enhance Iran's capabilities, with Murmansk-BN suppressing satellite navigation over 5,000 km and Iskander potentially including R-500 cruise missiles. High-level meetings between Russian and Iranian officials further solidify this military cooperation. #Russia #RussiaIran #IskanderMissiles #IsraelIran #IsraelAttackIran #IranAttack #Worldnews #Oneindia #Oneindianews ~HT.178~PR.320~ED.101~GR.125~
