Iran remembers Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar as a 'martyr' and 'model for the youth and children'
Fox News
Iran called Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar a martyr, hours after he was killed by Israeli forces and more than a year after the Oct. 7, 2023, attacks on Israel.
"He told you he was a lion, but in reality, he was hiding in a dark den, and he was killed when he fled in a panic from our soldiers," Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a televised message announcing Sinwar's death.

In a statement, the Permanent Mission of the Islamic Republic of Iran to the United Nations compared Sinwar's demise to the hanging of former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein, who was captured by U.S. forces in 2003 and subsequently convicted of crimes against humanity.
