The Iranian Foreign Minister, Hossein Amir-Abdallohian, further escalated the tension with a post that exaggerated the number of casualties in a Gaza hospital explosion, which Israel claimed was caused by an errant rocket from Palestinian Islamic Jihad.
“After the terrible crime committed by the Zionist regime, bombing and massacring over 1,000 innocent women and children in the hospital, the time has come for global unity against this despised regime, more detested than ISIS and its killing machine,” he posted on X.
“Time is OVER!” he added.
Iran hinted at unleashing its servant militias against Israel.
“Time is running out very fast,” warned Amir-Abdollahian, as reported by The New York Times. “If the war crimes against the Palestinians are not immediately stopped, other multiple fronts will open, and this is inevitable.”
He stated that an “axis of resistance” would take “pre-emptive action” as early as “the coming few hours,” with Iran-backed militias preventing Israel from having its way in Gaza.
A glimpse of the potential consequences emerged when a drone attack targeted a base in Iraq housing U.S. forces on Wednesday, according to Reuters.
Reuters reported that no one was injured in the attack on the al Asad air base, which marked the first assault on the base in over a year.
The two suicide attack drones were intercepted before reaching the base.
Iraq condemned Israel strongly, and the United States, with its 2,500 troops in Iraq, faced criticism as well.
Kataib Hezbollah, an Iran-linked militia group, demanded the withdrawal of Americans from Iraq.
In a statement, the group warned, “These evil people must leave the country, otherwise they will taste the fire of hell in this world before the afterlife.”
Hadi Al-Amiri, an Iraqi politician and leader of an Iran-backed faction, labeled the Gaza hospital explosion as “the massacre of the era,” classifying it as a war crime.
He declared that his group would not hesitate to consider America and the West as accomplices in this horrific massacre.

Why is it crucial for the international community to take a proactive role in defusing tensions and promoting peaceful coexistence in the Middle East
Tion, also condemned the attack and called for the expulsion of U.S. forces from Iraq.
Tensions between Iran and Israel have been escalating in recent months, particularly in the wake of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in Gaza. The exchange of threats and defiance on social media is just another manifestation of the deep-rooted antagonism between the two countries.
What is worrying is the potential for these heated exchanges to escalate into actual violence. The drone attack on the U.S. base in Iraq is a clear example of the dangerous consequences that can arise from such tensions. Both Iran and its proxy militias, as well as Israel and its allies, have the capability to inflict significant damage on each other.
Furthermore, the involvement of other countries in the region, such as Iraq, adds another layer of complexity to the situation. The demand for the withdrawal of U.S. forces from Iraq by Iran-linked militias shows the broader geopolitical ramifications of this conflict.
It is important for the international community to step in and play a role in de-escalating the situation. The threats and defiance on social media may be seen as mere posturing, but they can easily spiral out of control if not addressed promptly.
Diplomatic efforts should be intensified to bring both Iran and Israel to the negotiating table. Only through dialogue and diplomacy can a peaceful resolution be achieved. It is crucial for all parties involved to exercise restraint and prioritize the well-being of the people in the region.
The situation in the Middle East is already volatile, with numerous ongoing conflicts and crises. A full-blown confrontation between Iran and Israel would only exacerbate an already precarious situation.
It is imperative for the international community, particularly the United Nations and regional organizations, to take a proactive role in defusing tensions and promoting peaceful coexistence. The consequences of inaction are too grave to ignore.
The duel on social media between Iran and Israel should serve as a wake-up call for the international community. It is a reminder of the fragility of peace in the region and the urgent need for concerted efforts to prevent a further escalation of violence.
The world cannot afford another conflict in the Middle East. It is time for all stakeholders to come together and work towards a peaceful resolution that respects the rights and aspirations of all parties involved.
