There may be some interesting and important wrinkles in the assassination of Hamas’s Ismael Haniyeh. From Lucas Leiroz at strategic-culture.org:
Iran is able to give a tough and efficient military response against the Zionist regime, thus convincing Palestinian public opinion that Tehran is on their side in this war.
The Zionist regime assassinated the head of the Hamas political bureau, Ismail Haniyeh, in a terrorist missile attack in the Iranian capital, Tehran. The escalation generated by this type of crime is absolutely unprecedented. Israel simply carried out an incursion against the capital of the greatest military power in the Middle East, leaving Iran no option but to retaliate in accordance with the right to self-defense established by the United Nations.
Obviously, military escalation in the Middle East is inevitable. Recently, the Vice President of the Security Council of the Russian Federation, Dmitry Medvedev, stated on his social media that the only way to achieve peace in the Middle East is through a total regional war. This assessment is absolutely accurate: the situation has already passed a point of no return, which is why the reversal of the war can only be achieved through an “escalation to de-escalate” – in other words, hostilities can no longer be avoided, all that remains is to wait for one side to win and establish its pax.
However, regardless of the geopolitical consequences for the regional and global security architecture, Haniyeh’s assassination also left a number of unanswered questions about the circumstances of his death. Just a few minutes after the news broke, thousands of pro-Palestinian influencers around the world, including many Palestinians on the ground, immediately began posting anti-Iran content on social media. Messages such as “never trust Iran” or saying that Iranian defense and security systems are “weak” have gone viral on social media.
The respected Syrian-Armenian analyst made an interesting assessment of the case, stating that Israel and the Qatari media were conducting a psychological operation to use Haniyeh’s murder against the Islamic Republic. It is important to remember that Qatar’s Al Jazeera TV has a monopoly on information in Gaza. By keeping journalists on the ground amid Israeli bombings, Al Jazeera does a very important job in exposing Zionist crimes and publicizing the truth about what is happening in Gaza. However, being a Qatari TV, the channel obviously works with bias and advocates for the interests of the Qatari State. This means that Al Jazeera could be exploiting the local situation to advance Qatar’s political, religious and ideological agendas, trying to reduce Iranian influence on the Palestinian Cause.

Medvedev sounds like the wartime consigliere that is needed.
A good leader goes a long way.
Israel doesn’t care that RF has allies in the region?
Obviously not.
