US already ‘militarily involved’ in Israel-Hamas war: Iran's bold claim
Hindustan TimesThe United States is already involved in the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians and must be held to account, an Iranian official said. Asked if Tehran would engage if the US weighed in, Iran foreign ministry spokesperson Nasser Kanaani said, “Iran considers that the United States is already militarily involved in the conflict between Israel and Palestinians. "If the Zionist aggressions do not stop, the hands of all parties in the region are on the trigger," Hossein Amirabdollahian said after Israel's prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed to “demolish Hamas”. "The responsibility for the possible opening of new fronts of resistance in the region and any escalation of today's war directly falls on the United States and the Zionist regime," Hossein Amirabdollahian said as he met Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Qatar where they discussed the group's deadly attack in Israel "and agreed to continue cooperation" to achieve the group's goals. Iran's president Ebrahim Raisi urged France to help "prevent oppression" of Palestinians in a phone call with his counterpart Emmanuel Macron.
