Tehran: Reports suggest that Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has issued an order for a direct military strike against Israel in response to the assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh. This directive was given during an emergency session of Iran's Supreme National Security Council on Wednesday, shortly after Iran confirmed Haniyeh's death in Tehran.

Haniyeh was reportedly killed at around 2 a.m. local time after attending a ceremony and meeting with Khamenei. His assassination has been attributed to Israel by Iran and Hamas, though Israel has neither confirmed nor denied involvement. The incident has sparked significant outrage in Iran, which views it as a severe breach of sovereignty.

Iran is contemplating a range of retaliatory actions, including coordinated strikes involving missiles and drones aimed at military targets near Tel Aviv and Haifa.

The attack on Haniyeh, which took place at a highly secure Revolutionary Guards facility, is seen as a major security lapse for Iran. Khamenei has emphasized the necessity of retaliation to deter further Israeli attacks and maintain credibility among regional allies.

The ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas, along with Iran's involvement, has raised concerns about the potential for further escalation in the Middle East.

Bengaluru: Rural Development and Panchayat Raj Minister Priyank Kharge has alleged involvement of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) in a money transfer network at global level.

Posting his allegation on his personal ‘X’ account on Saturday morning, Kharge said that he was referring to an issue that had not been dealt with decisively by Indian media houses.

“Here is a crucial story that the Indian media will never touch,” the minister has said, and clarified, “This so-called “body of individuals” has built a global network of over 2,500 affiliated organisations. Through these fronts, the RSS collects “guru dakshina” to fuel its divisive agenda. (sic)”

Kharge has further alleged, “The world’s largest NGO is running amok, laundering money and evading accountability.”

The minister added, “Here is a map of their organisational architecture of their “Vichar Parivaar.” https://rssproject.caravanmagazine.in / @thecaravanindia”
