    The article from ph1l's link. Over time more information will come out about if the source of the strike which killed the terrorist leader was from outside or inside the borders of Iran. Media speculation is all over the place.

    Haniyeh assassination shrouded in mystery as to how, and from where
    Hamas and Iranian media report terror leader killed in ‘strike’ on Tehran residence, but speculations differ on whether projectile came from within Iran or from outside its borders

    It would certainly make more sense if it came from nearby.

    It was supposed to be the inauguration of the Iranian President who got elected. That was the event Ismael Haniyeh was attending. Funny thing is, it was reported he had a house in Iran? Hamas leaders probably, live such opulent lives abroad thanks to the Qatari government who supports Hamas financially.

    It was reported a missile hit his house. Could it be one of those ATACMs missiles? I think it had a range of like 190 miles? Israel probably, has a bunch of them.

    Haha. Well, I don't think anyone thought it was a hand grenade dropped from a bi-plane. :cool:

    Actually Hamas leaders live such opulent lives abroad because they are living on billions in stolen aid money. Hamas terrorist leader Ismail Haniyeh had a net worth of 4 billion dollars. Nearly all of it stolen aid money that should been used help the Palestinians in Gaza. This is where your U.N. money is going that was funded with your tax dollars.

    Tehran isn't going to respond too harshly. The last thing they want is an all out war with Israel.

    I tend to agree, for now. Their UN guy said they would "respond with special ops".. whatever that means, but it doesn't sound like another barrage of missiles at Israel.

    There's one thing worth noting imo, and @themickey actually pointed it out with those pics on page 1. Bibi got a standing ovation from Congress, met with Trump, and then he returns a day or so later to Israel and pulls off two assassinations, the one in Tehran with the Hamas' chief negotiator lol... (certainly a new twist on how to negotiate a cease-fire :banghead: ) --- it's the perception in the Middle East now (right or wrong) that he was emboldened by the U.S. Congress and more than likely Trump also.

    I don't think this is going to bode well for whatever hostages still remain. I'm sure Netanyahu knew that when he decided to take this guy out. Hard to get in his head, but he probably thought it was an exceptable trade-off maybe. I dunno.

    I’m very confident he will sooner or later fully free Iran and it’s people from its Cult Govt

    One note, how does Russia handle the fall of Iran into hand’s of its opponent?
