Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh was assassinated on Wednesday by an explosive device that was covertly smuggled into a Tehran guesthouse where he was staying. The bomb, which had been hidden approximately two months ago, was detonated remotely once it was confirmed that Haniyeh was inside. The guesthouse is managed and protected by the Revolutionary Guard Corps. This information comes from seven Middle Eastern officials, including two Iranians, and an American official, as reported by The New York Times.
