Hamas's top political leader Ismail Haniyeh has been killed in Iran, the group has confirmed.

Iran's Revolutionary Guards said Haniyeh and one of his bodyguards were "assassinated" in the capital Tehran at around 2am local time, Iranian state media reported.

In a statement, Hamas said he was killed in "a treacherous Zionist raid on his residence in Tehran".

The assassination is a "cowardly act that will not go unpunished", Hamas-run Al-Aqsa TV cited senior Hamas official Moussa Abu Marzouk as saying.

Haniyeh was in Iran to attend the swearing-in ceremony for the country's new president, Masoud Pezeshkian.

The Revolutionary Guards said the cause of his death was under investigation and would be announced soon.

Hamas later said Haniyeh was killed in an airstrike and blamed Israel.

Haniyeh left the Gaza Strip in 2019 and has lived in exile in Qatar since then.

No one immediately claimed responsibility for the death, but Israel had vowed to kill Haniyeh and other leaders of Hamas after the group attacked Israel on 7 October, killing 1,200 people and taking 250 others hostage.

Cowardly act? That was a bold and fearless . Let their be peace. How do you enjoy this life when you’re always hiding because you are a target? No one is safe in this world when you are a target

The Iranians have a poor internal security mechanism
How can your guest br killed under your nose?!
This shows that the Supreme Leader and the President aren't safe

If Israel vowed to kill you, there's no need hiding because they must surely kill you, it won't even take time, wether you are in USA or Iran, they will take Yu out and nothing will happen. God's own nation ✌️✌️
