Israel informed the US of the operation after it was carried out.
Hamas political head Ismail Haniyeh, who was killed in Tehran on Wednesday, was killed by a bomb that had been planted in the guest house where he was staying.
According to CNN, which cites informed sources, the bomb was hidden about two months ago in the guest house. It detonated remotely when Haniyeh was in his room.
Iran and Hamas claim Israel carried out the liquidation. Israel has neither confirmed nor denied involvement. According to the source, US officials were not informed of the operation by Israeli officials until after the assassination.
