Israel’s intensifying “aggression” against civilians in Gaza makes fallout inevitable, Iran’s top diplomat says.
An expansion of the scope of the war in Gaza is “inevitable” due to Israel’s increased aggression, according to Iran’s foreign minister.
Hossein Amirabdollahian made the statement during a telephone conversation with his Qatari counterpart, Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani, Iranian Press TV reported on Friday.
“Due to the increasing intensity of the war against the civilian residents of Gaza, the expansion of the scope of the war has become inevitable,” Amirabdollahian said.
It is not clear what he meant by the “inevitable expansion” of the conflict.
Furthermore, Amirabdollahian said on his X account on Thursday: “Time is running out for the crimes in Tel Aviv to continue. »
This is a company that is taking care of you. تنها فايده نتانياهو اين بود كه پایههای رژیم جعلی اسراییل را متزل زلتر ساخت و چهره جنایت People and people who need help are looking for a person and a person for their life. It’s true. It’s a question of time.

“Netanyahu’s only advantage is that he shook the foundations of the false Israeli regime and showed the criminal, violent and aggressive face of the Zionist regime in the massacre of women and children in Gaza,” he said. he adds.
“Without a doubt, the future belongs to Palestine,” Amirabdollahian wrote.
Regional tensions and cross-border clashes have intensified since Hamas, the Iran-backed group that rules Gaza, attacked Israel on October 7, sparking Israel’s war on the enclave.
Israel and the Lebanese armed group Hezbollah, an ally of Hamas, exchanged attacks. More than 60 Hezbollah fighters and 10 civilians were killed, according to Lebanese security officials. The violence also killed at least seven Israeli soldiers and one civilian.
US and coalition troops have been attacked at least 40 times in Iraq and Syria by Iranian-backed forces as tensions rise over Israeli bombing. Forty-five American soldiers were injured.
Yemen’s Iran-aligned Houthi movement has also launched repeated missile and drone attacks on Israel since October 7, all of which have been shot down or failed.
In a move seen as a show of force against regional rivals, notably Iran, the United States announced last week that it had deployed a nuclear-capable submarine to the Middle East.
