The situation seems on the surface to be uniting some of Iran’s proxies.
Hussein al-Sheikh, a high-ranking official in the Palestinian Authority who has criticized Hamas in the past –and is widely seen as a pragmatic figure – condemned the assassination of Haniyeh, calling it “a cowardly act.”
Houthi terrorists in Yemen also responded, calling Haniyeh’s elimination a “terrorist crime and a flagrant violation of the laws.” …
Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, which only meets in rare circumstances, convened on Wednesday morning at the Supreme Leader’s residence, two Iranian officials told NYT.

After the emergency meeting, the Ayatollah Khamenei ordered a direct strike on Israel in response to the Tehran assassination. The US consolidated 12 warships in the Middle East over the Houthi strikes, while at the same time launching diplomatic efforts to prevent escalation.
