Iran on Tuesday denounced what it termed Israel's "brazen admission" of having killed former Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran earlier this year, accusing the country of having carried out a "heinous crime" and defending its missile-strike response. "This brazen admission marks the first time the Israeli regime has openly confessed to its responsibility for this heinous crime," said Iran's ambassador to the United Nations Amir Saeid Iravani in a letter addressed to the UN secretary-general. On Monday, Israel's defense minister Israel Katz acknowledged his country was responsible for the killing, the first time an official admission had been made. Haniyeh, who was seen as leading Hamas's negotiation efforts for a ceasefire in Gaza, was killed in a guesthouse in Tehran on July 31, reportedly by an explosive device that had been placed by Israeli operatives weeks before. Until Monday, Israel had never admitted to killing Haniyeh, but Iran and Hamas had attributed the Hamas political leader's death to the nation. In October, Iran said it fired 200 missiles at Israel, an apparent response to the killing. Israel said most of the projectiles were intercepted either by its own air defenses or by allies' air forces. On Tuesday, Iranian UN Ambassador Iravani termed Israel's killing of Haniyeh a "heinous terrorist act," adding that Katz's statement showed Iran was justified in striking Israel in retaliation. "It also reaffirms the legitimacy and legality of Iran's defensive response on 1 October 2024, as well as Iran's consistent position that the occupying and terrorist regime of Israel remains the most serious threat to regional and international peace and security." On September 27, Israel killed Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah in a Beirut bombing, which was followed by the killing of Haniyeh's successor Yahya Sinwar on October 16 in Gaza. Israeli officials say Sinwar masterminded the October 7, 2023, attack by Hamas on Israel, which sparked the ongoing war in the Gaza Strip, which has killed tens of thousands and reduced much of the Palestinian territory to rubble.

Skoda Kylaq The Skoda Kylaq's starting price of Rs 7.89 lakh (introductory, ex-showroom pan-India) has been released, but the carmaker hasn't yet revealed the complete range of variant-specific costs. On December 2nd, Skoda will open the order books for the sub-4m SUV and reveal the full costs for the Kylaq. A 10.1-inch touchscreen, an 8-inch digital driver's display, heated and ventilated front seats, automatic air conditioning, and a wireless phone charger are just a few of the many features that the Kylaq offers. Six airbags, electronic stability control (ESC), and a rear parking camera are all part of its safety package. The Kylaq, which has a 1-liter turbo-petrol engine producing 115 PS, is available from Skoda with a 6-speed manual or 6-speed torque converter automatic gearbox. The launch date is December 2. 5. Hyundai Creta EV We think Hyundai may begin releasing teasers for the electric SUV (and perhaps even show it) around December, given that the company has announced the Creta EV will ship in January 2025. The all-electric Creta will resemble its ICE (internal combustion engine) cousin in appearance, according to earlier spy photos, although it will probably have certain EV-specific modifications. Hyundai has not yet revealed information on the electric motor and battery pack of the Creta EV. Nonetheless, we anticipate that it will come with a variety of battery pack configurations with a stated range of more than 400 kilometers.
