TEHRAN, Sep. 04 (MNA) - There is still a threat of Iran's military response to Israeli assassination of former Political Bureau Chief of the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement, Hamas, Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran.

Pentagon Press Secretary Major General Pat Ryder said that there is still a threat of Iran's military response to the Zionist regime.

Iran has shown that it intends to retaliate Israeli assassination of ex-HAMAS Chief Ismail Haniyeh, therefore, US continues to take this threat seriously.

Iran has repeatedly said it will retaliate for the Israeli assassination of former Hamas Politburo Martyr Ismail Haniyeh.
