Russia Sends Escalation Warning After Death of Hamas Chief Ismail Haniyeh
MSN - Newsweek ^ | 7 31 2024 | Brendan Cole

Posted on 07/31/2024 10:51:27 AM PDT by dennisw

Russia has not classified Hamas as terrorist group. Officials from Palestinian movement, including Haniyeh, have held meetings with Russian officials in Moscow in recent years. Hamas is viewed as a terrorist group by several countries, including the U.S. and many of its allies.

Russia's deputy foreign minister Mikhail Bogdanov has warned the death of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Iran was unacceptable and will lead to an escalation of violence.

"This is all very bad. This is an absolutely unacceptable political assassination, and it will lead to a further escalation of tensions,"

"Iran's direct capability is very poor, which is why they are so keen on gaining nuclear weapons and why they use proxies around the Middle East," he told Newsweek. "Their options are also limited by the need to keep the U.S. and NATO allies out of the fight."

"The most dangerous option is a swift push for nuclear capability and using it, but this is unlikely. I expect to see possibly a brief surge in increased rocket attacks on Israel from Iranian proxies around the region followed by a return to the rate of rocket attacks we have seen since October 7." The agency also reported that Bogdanov had said Haniyeh's "murder" will have a negative impact on ceasefire and hostage release negotiations in Doha.

"the organizers of this political assassination were aware of the dangerous consequences this action could have for the entire region."

Hamas said in a statement that Haniyeh had attended the inauguration of the new Iranian president, Masoud Pezeshkian, before he was killed in a raid on his residence in Tehran. Iranian media reported that Haniyeh had been staying at a building for war veterans when the attack occurred around 2 a.m. local time. Some reports suggested he had been killed in an airstrike.

Well, since the Iranians already have an army here….
Remember, Junta leader Valerie Jarrett is an Iranian.

Prime members of the new axis for evil are Russia and Iran. Power intoxicated Vlad Putin believes that the Muslims inside and outside Russia like him, and that he can control them.

I feel like we are watching the end of the movie Animal House when complete chaos takes over and the one Army guy is yelling “remain calm”...

We have a nearly comatose POTUS who was forced to back out of the election and turns it over to an equally inept VP.

With a total vacuum in Washington, you have to wonder if Iran and their allies think now is the time to go all-out war with Israel.

All Iran does is provide some token weapons.

The true Axis of Evil is still Russia and China. Iran is Russia’s bitch, and has been since Carter screwed that up.

He may find out just how wrong he is thinking he can control him.

Note that Russia is trying to blame the US for the strike on its pal Haniyeh, claiming that it will now start “a global war”

Bad news morons: there is Someone Who will cash those checks and they will NOT like the payout.

Always accuse your opponent of doing the same thing you are doing? Is that your philosphy?

Every day we see Bible prophecy fulfilled before our eyes.

God chose us for such a time as this.

My most fervent prayer is that I remain faithful until the end.
