Iran denies responsibility for the ongoing warfare in Israel and claims that Hamas has dealt a devastating blow to the nation, according to Iran’s ruling cleric.
He further warns that Israel’s response to the attack could lead to a catastrophic outcome for the Jewish state.
“From the military and intelligence aspects, this defeat is irreparable,” Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei told an audience of Iranian military cadets, according to Iranian media. “It is a devastating earthquake. It is unlikely that the usurping regime will be able to use the help of the West to repair the deep impacts that this incident has left on its ruling structures.”
Iran has a long history of supporting the Islamic terrorist group Hamas, which controls the Gaza Strip and holds a deep animosity towards Jewish people and the existence of Israel.
“There’s a degree of complicity here, but Iran has been supporting Hamas for many, many years,” White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said on Monday. “We haven’t seen hard, tangible evidence that Iran was directly involved in participating in or resourcing and planning these sets of complex attacks that Hamas pulled off over the weekend. Again, we’re going to keep looking at it.”
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu describes the conflict as a clash of civilizations.
“And just as the forces of civilization united to defeat ISIS, the forces of civilization must support Israel in defeating Hamas,” Netanyahu said on Monday. “In fighting Hamas, Israel is not only fighting for its own people. It is fighting for every country that stands against barbarism. Israel will win this war, and when Israel wins, the entire civilized world wins.”
Furthermore, Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant announced a “complete siege” on the Gaza Strip, urging innocent Palestinian civilians to evacuate city centers immediately.
“We are putting a complete siege on Gaza,” Gallant said on Monday. “No electricity, no food, no water, no gas — it’s all closed. We’re fighting animals and are acting accordingly.”
Hamas has reportedly taken over 150 hostages, resulting in the deaths of nearly 1,000 Israelis and leaving another 3,400 injured, according to the Israeli Embassy in Washington.
“A senior Israeli government source said Monday that Israel has indications that Iran pushed Hamas into carrying out its massive infiltration and deadly assault, and that Iran was also pushing Hezbollah to be ready for conflict with Israel,” the Times of Israel reported.
On Tuesday morning, Israel announced that they have regained control of the Gaza border and are securing it with mines where the barrier was destroyed during the 4-day conflict.

The international community calls on all parties involved to prioritize the safety and well-being of civilians and to work towards a peaceful resolution. The ongoing violence and loss of innocent lives are deeply troubling and must come to an end.

The international community has welcomed the ceasefire agreement and expressed hope that it will pave the way for a lasting peace.
“The ceasefire is a positive step towards ending the violence and addressing the urgent humanitarian needs of the people in Gaza,” said US Secretary of State Antony Blinken. “We urge all parties to continue working towards a sustainable peace.”
Efforts are now underway to rebuild the damaged infrastructure and provide assistance to those affected by the conflict. The focus is on ensuring a stable and prosperous future for both Israelis and Palestinians.
