Iran has issued a warning to Israel, as per semi-official Fars news agency, on Sunday that if the aggression against Palestinians won’t end, there could be an escalation in the conflict. The news agency report added that its foreign minister has stated that other parties in the region are ready to act.
“If the Zionist aggressions do not stop, the hands of all parties in the region are on the trigger,” Hossein Amirabdollahian stated.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed on Sunday to “demolish Hamas” as its military have started mobilisation for ground invasion into Gaza. Tanks and troops are already positioned on the southern border of Gaza.
Iran’s top authority Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said on Tuesday that Iran was not involved in attack carried out by Hamas, which has apparently shocked the world as it became the deadliest day for Israel in the past 50 years. However, Khamenei did hail the attack and termed it as Israel’s “irreparable” military and intelligence failure.
Israel has long accused Iran of supplying weapons to Hamas militant group. The latter has claimed that it gives moral and financial support to the group, which controls the Gaza Strip.
