Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei has led funeral prayers for Haniyeh and his security guard, who were assassinated during his visit to Tehran on Wednesday, Press TV reported.
 

During a ceremony held at Tehran University on Thursday, Ayatollah Khamenei paid homage to the Hamas chief and his bodyguard, identified as Wasim Abu Shaaban.
 

Massive crowds of Iranian mourners took part in funeral procession for the assassinated Hamas official.
 

Haniyeh was in the Iranian capital to attend Tuesday’s swearing-in ceremony of Iran’s newly-elected President Masoud Pezeshkian.
 

The details of the assassination plot aren’t known yet, but the preliminary investigation points to the direct role of the Israeli regime.
