An explosive device hidden in a heavily guarded complex where Ismail Haniyeh was known to stay in Iran was what killed him, according to a Times investigation.
Ismail Haniyeh, a top leader of Hamas, was assassinated on Wednesday by an explosive device covertly smuggled into the Tehran guesthouse where he was staying, according to seven Middle Eastern officials, including two Iranians, and an American official.
The bomb had been hidden approximately two months ago in the guesthouse, according to five of the Middle Eastern officials. The guesthouse is run and protected by the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps and is part of a large compound, known as Neshat, in an upscale neighborhood of northern Tehran.
Mr. Haniyeh was in Iran’s capital for the presidential inauguration. The bomb was detonated remotely, the five officials said, once it was confirmed that he was inside his room at the guesthouse. The blast also killed a bodyguard.
The explosion shook the building, shattered some windows and caused the partial collapse of an exterior wall, according to the two Iranian officials, members of the Revolutionary Guards briefed on the incident. Such damage was also evident in a photograph of the building shared with The New York Times.
Mr. Haniyeh, who had led Hamas’s political office in Qatar, had stayed at the guesthouse several times when visiting Tehran, according to the Middle Eastern officials. All of the officials spoke on the condition of anonymity to share sensitive details about the assassination.

据七名中东官员(包括两名伊朗人和一名美国官员)称,哈马斯高层领导人伊斯梅尔·哈尼亚周三被秘密偷运进他下榻的德黑兰宾馆爆炸装置暗杀。
五名中东官员称,这枚炸弹大约两个月前就藏在宾馆里。宾馆由伊朗革命卫队管理和保护,是德黑兰北部高档社区内一个名为 Neshat 的大型建筑群的一部分。
哈尼亚先生来伊朗首都参加总统就职典礼。五名官员称,在确认哈尼亚在宾馆的房间里后,炸弹被远程引爆。爆炸还导致一名保镖死亡。
据两名了解事件情况的伊朗官员和革命卫队成员称,爆炸震动了整座建筑,震碎了一些窗户,并导致外墙部分倒塌。《纽约时报》分享的一张该建筑的照片也清楚地显示了这种损坏。
据中东官员称,哈尼亚曾领导哈马斯驻卡塔尔政治办公室,访问德黑兰期间曾多次入住这家宾馆。所有官员在分享有关暗杀事件的敏感细节时都要求匿名。
