Secretary of State Antony Blinken said the U.S. was not involved in the death of top Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh, who was killed early Wednesday morning in an apparent assassination attempt in Iran.
Blinken, who is on a multi-country trip to the Indo-Pacific, told Channel News Asia the U.S. was “not aware of or involved in” the assassination attempt.
At at separate Wednesday event in Singapore, Blinken reiterated his support for a ceasefire and hostage release deal between Israel and Hamas.
“It’s profoundly in the interest of putting things in a better path,” he said of a deal. “We’ll continue to work at that everyday.”

Good thing US wasn’t involved.
It’s all about Michigan arabs.
“We’ve had higher priority assassinations on our list, so this one has nothing to do with us.”
Did anyone really think it was?
Secretary of State Antony Blinken is such a panty-waist it makes me sick.
““We’ve had higher priority assassinations on our list, so this one has nothing to do with us.””
Exactly. Higher priority “domestic” assassinations.
Your not wrong
“Ismail Haniyeh was killed early Wednesday morning in an apparent assassination attempt in Iran.”
When does an attempted assassination become a real assassination? I always thought it was when the target was killed, but I’m not a professional journalist.
What an odd thing to say.
Still this was a Mossad intelligence failure. Iran was able to plan , ship missiles, arms and personnel into Gaza long before the October 7 attack. If this fiend was the Hamas point man in Tehran, he should have been neutralized long ago and the whole plot exposed before over 1,100 Israeli soldiers and civilians were killed, many more taken hostage, physically and psychologically maimed.
Diplomats who talk too much. What a surprise.
Okay--"killed." That means the dude's room temperature. The "attempt" would appear to have been successful, no? That means it was an "assassination." Not merely attempted, but achieved.
Maybe the girls at The Hill's copy desk are just trying to let everyone know how much they hate the Jews. Does the idea of a Moslem murderer getting a permanent taste of eternity make you sad? Just throw around words like "attempt" to imply failure or futility, the way a good little Democrat would.
Say, you girls at The Hill aren't Democrats, are you? No way.
Neither are they at The Hill.
Such a courageous statement by our leadership
Well of course -- that's why it went off without a hitch.
Well, it was successful so........
I didn’t think they were..before.
Gotta keep them radical US muslims pacified to count on their votes.
