Without US support, Israel couldn’t have continued Gaza war: Iran

Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian says Israel would not have been able to continue its war on the besieged Gaza Strip if it were not for the United States’ support.

In an interview with Qatar-based Al Jazeera television network, Amir-Abdollahian said Iran has received messages from the US that Washington is not looking to expand the scope of the war.

“Our response to the Americans was that by supporting Israel and supplying it with weapons, they are widening the scope of the war.”

Israel ignited its bloody war machine after the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas launched Operation Al-Aqsa Storm inside the occupied territories on October 7. The regime has killed at least 14,854 people, including more than 6,150 children and 4,000 women, in Gaza.

In a statement on Wednesday, Hamas announced a four-day truce with Israel in the Gaza Strip that will see the cessation of hostilities in Gaza.

Hamas said the deal, mediated by Qatar and Egypt, will allow the entry of hundreds of trucks with humanitarian aid, medicine and fuel to Gaza.
