Gadkari Recalls Meeting Hamas Leader Before Assassination

Nitin Gadkari, an Indian minister, met Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran just hours before Haniyeh was assassinated.

Gadkari was in Iran for the swearing-in of the new president, Masoud Pezeshkian.

After the ceremony, Haniyeh was killed in a secure military complex.

The exact method of the assassination is still uncertain, with some reports suggesting a short-range missile or explosives were used.

There are allegations that Israel's intelligence agency, Mossad, was involved in the assassination.

The Iranian authorities are still investigating the incident.
