Funeral service for Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh under way in Iran

The funeral service of Hamas senior leader Ismail Haniyeh is underway in Tehran, Iran. The country’s Supreme leader, Ali Khamenei, is leading funeral prayers. Haniyeh was assassinated in the Iranian capital yesterday while attending the inauguration of the Iranian President.

In a statement, Hamas says Haniyeh’s body will be buried in Doha after the symbolic funeral. Although the strike on Haniyeh was widely assumed to have been carried out by Israel, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government has made no claim of responsibility. Fears are mounting that this killing will escalate tension in the Middle East and derail peace talks aimed at ending the conflict.
