It turns out that a bomb killed Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran on Wednesday, not an airstrike as everyone assumed and reported. That’s really interesting because it means the Ayatollah has a rat in his kitchen. This had to be an inside job. The device was planted weeks ago in stealthy preparation and it had to be someone on Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps security team who planted it.
Bomb planted by security
It was a planted bomb, not a missile or airstrike which liquidated Ismail Haniyeh on Wednesday. Now we know why Blinky Blinken was so quick to deny any knowledge of the assassination ahead of time. That ultra-top secret mission was completed well in advance. It only could have been done with helpful incompetence in the security detail.
It’s funny how the phrases “political assassination,” “security detail” and “inside job” keep coming up in the same sentence recently. They’ve been popping up since the failed hit on Donald Trump, July 13. Iran hasn’t been connected to that, yet, but there was chatter ahead of time they wanted him dead.
Iran is definitely connected to this one and someone is out to spark nuclear Armageddon. Israel is most likely behind the plot but that isn’t carved in stone. Whoever sanctioned the assassination had to have a whole lot of help from a well vetted insider on the security team.
Ismail Haniyeh, a top leader of Hamas, was assassinated by an explosive device covertly smuggled into the Tehran guesthouse. The bomb had been hidden approximately two months ago in the guesthouse, according to five of the Middle Eastern officialshttps://t.co/3RahKiy75U

Tehran is the capitol of Iran, giving them the home field advantage. The bomb had been very carefully hidden “in the guest house where he was staying.” Probably by a “cleaning lady.” One who made it through all the IRGC security checkpoints with explosives.
A source leaked to the press that “the bomb was concealed about two months ago in the guest house where Haniyeh was known to stay in Tehran and detonated remotely once he was inside his room there.” Talk about precision targeting.
Both the Ayatollah and Hamas are pointing the finger straight at Israel but the IDF isn’t taking the blame. They usually confirm their operations after the fact but haven’t confirmed this one. They haven’t denied it, either.

US briefed afterward
United States officials were quick to declare that they didn’t know anything about the bomb ahead of time. U.S. leaders were “briefed on the operation by Israeli officials only after the assassination.”
No matter who pushed the button sending Haniyeh to meet his 72 virgins, the hit “raised fears once again that Israel’s conflict with Hamas and its allies could develop into a multi-front, fully-fledged war in the Middle East.”
There are more fears it could go global. Russia has already warned that things are getting out of control. Iranian state media is partly to blame for spreading disinformation about the method of attack.

Rather than admitting it was a bomb, which makes Iranian security look weak, they reported “Haniyeh was killed by a rocket fired from outside the building in which he was staying.”
It didn’t take long for the truth to come out. Since that guest house was “under the protection of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps,” it clearly indicates “a startling breach of security for the IRGC.” Heads will roll over this one, literally.
It’s not clear how long Haniyeh had been staying in Iran before the bomb went off. He was scheduled for arrival Monday with “a full schedule of public appearances and meetings.” They were canceled by his assassination.
