Tehran [Iran], August 6: It has been a week since an Israeli airstrike in Beirut, Lebanon, killed Hezbollah military commander Fuad Shukr. The assassination of Hamas commander Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran, Iran, the following day has heightened tensions and led to the risk of a regional war. Hamas and Iran have accused Israel of being behind Haniyeh's death, but the country has so far neither admitted nor denied it.
