IRGC spokesperson: Israel will have to wait for Iran's retaliation for Haniyeh

A spokesperson for Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corp (IRGC) has said that Israel will "taste the bitterness of waiting" for its retaliation for the killing of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran earlier this month.

"The Zionist regime and its settlers must taste the bitterness of waiting for the response of Iran and the axis of resistance, time is at our disposal and no one can predict what the vengeance of martyr Haniyeh will be and this time our response may be different from the past," said the spokesperson, speaking on state media.

He added that "for now they must wait".
