This is necessary for its security and peace. No country should have the courage to assassinate an official guest of a country inside its territory, in its capital. We are very sad about what happened."

STORYLINE:
A group of hardline supporters of the government gathered at the University of Tehran on Wednesday to condemn the killing of Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh.

Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh was killed by a predawn airstrike in the Iranian capital Wednesday, Iran and the militant group said, blaming Israel for a shock assassination that risks escalating the conflict even as the U.S. and other nations were scrambling to prevent an all-out regional war.

Iran’s supreme leader vowed revenge against Israel.

Demonstrators chanted "death to Israel" while holding pictures of Haniyeh and Palestinian flags.

There was no immediate comment from Israel, which has pledged to kill Haniyeh and other Hamas leaders over the group’s Oct. 7 attack on southern Israel in which the Palestinian militant group killed 1,200 people and took some 250 others hostage.

The strike came just after Haniyeh had attended the inauguration of Iran’s new president in Tehran — and only hours after Israel targeted a top commander in Iran’s ally Hezbollah in the Lebanese capital Beirut.
