Tensions remained high last night as the world waited to see whether Iran would launch a retaliatory attack on Israel, risking all-out war.

A key architect of the October 7 atrocities which killed 1,200 Israelis, Haniyeh, 62, is said to have been killed in a high-security zone in outer Tehran, three miles from the residence of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei – whom he had just met.
