In a sharp response to Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s vow to avenge the assassination of Hamas’s political chief Ismail Haniyeh, Mosab Hassan Yousef has issued a stark warning on his verified Twitter account.
Yousef, a vocal critic of Hamas and son of a Hamas co-founder, ridiculed Khamenei’s threats and emphasized the formidable capabilities of Israel’s Mossad.
“Ayatollah is threatening to avenge Haniyah’s assassination! With what? Unguided, inaccurate, and outdated Mullah weapon on another children’s playground?” Yousef wrote. He highlighted the precision and reach of Mossad, noting that the Israeli intelligence agency successfully targeted Haniyeh in his bed within one of the most secure Iranian compounds from thousands of miles away.
Yousef further pointed out the inability of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) to comprehend how such an operation was executed. “The Islamic Revolutionary Guard will never understand how it happened. The same way they haven’t figured out how their late president’s helicopter fell out of the sky,” he added, referencing past mysterious incidents involving Iranian leadership.
Declaring the situation as an open war, Yousef stressed Mossad’s capability to strike “Anyone Anywhere.” He issued a dire warning to Khamenei and Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, stating, “Ayatu-Allah and Nasr-Allah have no place to hide, and if they dare to do anything idiotic entire cities will be wiped out off the map.”
This provocative statement comes in the wake of Haniyeh’s assassination, which has significantly heightened tensions in the region. The assassination, carried out while Haniyeh was in Tehran for President Masoud Pezeshkian’s inauguration, has been condemned by Hamas and has led to calls for retaliation from Iranian leadership.
