The statement said the attack is under investigation and the results will be announced later in the day.
The Palestinian resistance leader was in Tehran to attend the inauguration ceremony of the Iranian president-elect Masoud Pezeshkian.
“No one immediately claimed responsibility for the assassination but suspicion immediately fell on Israel, which has vowed to kill Haniyeh and other leaders of Hamas over the group’s Oct. 7 attack,” the AP reports.
Hamas official Sami Abu Zuhri told Reuters on Tuesday after Haniyeh’s assassination that Hamas can outlast the deaths of any of its leaders.
“We are waging an open war to liberate Jerusalem and are ready to pay any price,” Abu Zuhri said.
Israel assassinated Haniyeh’s three sons and four of his grandchildren earlier this year.
