In Tehran, Ismail Haniyeh, the head of Hamas' political bureau, has been killed in an Israeli attack. Haniyeh was instrumental in negotiating ceasefires in Gaza and securing hostage releases, making prospects for a near-term ceasefire unlikely now. Turkey's Foreign Ministry has denounced the assassination as "abhorrent." The markets have already responded to the heightened risk of regional conflict, with Brent crude oil prices rising by 1.5%.
