Response to Haniyeh killing will be ‘calculated’: Former IRGC chief

A former chief commander of Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) warns of an extremely tough response to Israel, asserting that the Islamic Republic will “definitely” serve a “calculated” response to the Israeli regime’s assassination of Hamas’s leader in Tehran last month.
“We have investigated the possible repercussions. And we will not let [Israeli prime minister Benjamin] Netanyahu, who is sinking in a swamp, save him himself,” Mohsen Rezaei said in an interview with CNN on Tuesday.
“Iran will take action at the right time and in the right place. Based on Article 51 of the United Nations Charter, we have the right to defend ourselves,” he added.
“If there is no response, the Zionist regime’s acts of mischief will continue. Therefore, this (the retaliation) will take place,” added Rezaei, who currently serves as secretary of the Supreme Council for Economic Coordination of the Heads of Government Branches.
Hamas Leader Ismail Haniyeh was assassinated in a targeted killing operation in Tehran on July 31. He was in the Iranian capital to attend the inauguration ceremony of Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian.
