Iran is "lying in wait today, and will definitely respond," said Mohsen Rezaei, a member of Iran's Expediency Council and former IRGC chief-commander, on the delay in Tehran's response to the killing of Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh.

"Drawing on the experiences from the war with Iraq, we will avoid any hasty action and deliver a harsh blow to Netanyahu," Rezaei noted on Monday.
