Ayatollah Ali Khamanei has ordered Iran to strike Israel directly in response to the killing of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran.

The New York Times reported this, citing three Iranian officials familiar with the order.

According to the sources, Khamenei gave the order during the emergency meeting of Iran's Supreme National Security Council which was held a few hours after the announcement of Haniyeh's death.
