The crisis in the Middle East is escalating. Iran and Hamas are accusing Israel of assassinating Hamas’s top political leader, Ismael Haniyeh. They say Wednesday’s airstrike in the Iranian capital Tehran will not go unpunished. Hardline protesters took to the streets, vowing revenge and denouncing Israel and the US.
For the latest, we talk to our correspondent Tania Krmer in Jerusalem.
We also speak with Alex Vatanka, director of the Iran Program at the Middle East Institute in Washington DC.
And we talk to Laura Blumenfeld. She is a Middle East analyst, a best-selling author and she served in the US State Department as senior policy advisor for the Middle East Peace Process.

#Haniyeh #Iran #Israel
JEREMIAH 14: 18-20
Iran has not even avenged soulemani. Then the president recently. Now this..i think Iran is not advanced at all. All bark no bite.
there's a news that one of their citizen/member planted a bomb for the reason of hidden agenda
The mob of people mourning for Haniye does not reflect pulse of iranian people. IRANIANs are hunger for change!
Iran is shaking from fear that this can be done to each of their leaders…
this woman calls a terrorist "Diplomat", i wonder if her children were hostage she would've still call those terrorists diplomats
Ceasefire ?
I believe the end of the world is comand, it's not anybody can do about it. It is God he is in control.
I thought Iran was a very safe place for these guys? I also thought that Israel will be scared to try anything on Iran's soil. Enough of killings. Let there be peace in the middle East.
Why does Iran want Israel wiped out?
Of course it is a humiliation. Und das ist gut so.
How much clearer can Israel be?
The hamas leader was a dead man walking. He thought he was safe on Tehran soil. Shows Iranians are confused on who murdered him and are trying to save face. The enemy is among themselves. The Iranian house of cards has cracked and slowly falling apart. They are vulnerable and exposed. Weakness.
IS KHALED MESHAAL INVOLVED IN THE ASSASINATION OF HANIYEH??
ISMAIL HANIYEH ARE UNDER IRANS SECURITY, HANIYEH WAS STAYING IN A SPECIAL RESIDENCE IN TEHRAN… THE TALIBAN COMMANDER ABDOL HAMID KHORASANI BLAMED IRANS KHAMENEI FOR THE ASSASINATION OF HAMAS CHIEF.,, THE TALIBAN COMMANDER SAID IRAN AND ISRAEL ARE TWO SIDES OF THE SAME COIN.. WHY DID IRAN SOLD ISMAIL HANIYEH TO ISRAEL??
Iran should quit and allow Israel be, stop attacking Israel,and have their peace. They should count the cost of their loses in the past few months.
The Iranian uses God and Israel to prop up its legitimacy, if that is taken away then they will fall
