A staunch backer of Hamas, Iran is leading the charge in putting Israel on notice that the entire Arab world is up in arms over the Israeli airstrike that led to the death of Haniyeh, who worked as Hamas' political bureau chief.
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran's supreme leader, vowed following the assassination to deliver "harsh punishment" to Israel. Hamas also promised "dire consequences" for Israel after the Zionist state took out the person responsible for conducting negotiations between Hamas and Israel outside of the Gaza Strip.
Various rebel groups, including the Houthis in Yemen, agree that Israel's killing of Haniyeh marks a "major escalation" in the Middle East conflict.

"All-out war" just days away from erupting in the Middle East
The move by Israel came after Hezbollah attacked a football field in the Druze town of Majdal Shams, located in Israel's occupied Golan Heights. Some 12 young people, including small children, died in the attack.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu promised to take action after the Hezbollah strike, which came as promised via precision missile strikes on a military veterans' building in Tehran where Haniyeh and his bodyguards were positioned.
Somehow, Israel's Shin Bet intelligence agency figured out which room Haniyeh was staying in, allowing IDF (Israel Defense Forces) to kill him and one of his bodyguards while they slept.
As of right now, Israel is fighting a "seven front war" against Iran that is escalating by the day. The Biden regime says it is trying to stop the situation from worsening, but it is getting worse by the day.
That Israel would so boldly attack the very heart of Iran, knowing that retaliation will ensue, suggests that full-scale war in the Middle East is just days away from unfolding.
A few hours before Israel took out Haniyeh, he and other leaders from Iran's so-called "axis of resistance" – this includes Hezbollah, the Houthis and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad – attended a swearing-in ceremony for Masoud Pezeshkian, Iran's new president.
At the meeting, the men were dressed in suits while chanting "death to America" and "death to Israel" as a speaker discussed the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza.
Israel's latest war on Gaza is now almost 10 months in with no signs of letting up any time soon. Of the 250 Israelis who were taken hostage in Gaza, one-third are said to be dead while the remainder are still in Gaza.
Following the Hezbollah attack in the Golan Height's Israel's foreign minister proclaimed that Iran "has crossed all the red lines here, and the response will reflect that."
"We are nearing the moment in which we face an all-out war," the Israeli leader added.
Right before Israel took out Haniyeh, it also killed Fuad Shukr, Hezbollah's most senior military commander, in a "targeted" airstrike. Should Israel proceed next to launch further military "adventures" in Lebanese territory, Iran is threatening "unforeseen consequences."
Regardless, the IDF has reportedly been gearing up for years for all-out war in Lebanon, the expectation being that Hezbollah will eventually invade Israeli territory. Hezbollah is said to have upwards of 50,000 fighters and as many as 200,000 missiles, rockets and attack and reconnaissance drones ready to use against Israel.
