WaPo confirms Iran’s ‘key’ role in Hamas attack on Israel.
Iran’s Involvement in Hamas Attack Confirmed
Despite the consistent refrain from the Biden administration that they have no conclusive evidence that Iran helped plan or orchestrate Hamas’ murderous attack on Israel last Saturday, another report has confirmed that Iran was indeed involved in the attack.
According to a Hamas official, the organization received support from Iran for the attack. The Wall Street Journal has also confirmed this report, providing more details from multiple officials.
The report reveals that officers of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps collaborated with Hamas and other Islamic terrorists in planning the attacks, which involved firing thousands of rockets and invading Israel by land, sea, and air.
The operation was refined during meetings attended by IRGC officers and representatives of Iran-backed militant groups, including Hamas and Hezbollah.
The Washington Post has further confirmed Iran’s role in leading up to the attack. Palestinian militants began planning the assault at least a year ago with significant support from Iranian allies, including military training, logistical help, and tens of millions of dollars for weapons.
Current and former intelligence officials have noted the hallmarks of Iranian support in the assault and confirmed Iran’s technical assistance in manufacturing the thousands of rockets and armed drones launched into Israel.
Former CIA Senior Operations Officer Marc Polymeropoulos emphasized the massive footprint of training, logistics, communication, personnel, and weapons required for the attack.
Meanwhile, the White House’s deputy national security adviser acknowledged Iran’s broad complicity in supporting Hamas but stated that there is no direct evidence of Iranian involvement in ordering or planning the recent attacks.
U.S. National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby reiterated Iran’s long-standing support for Hamas and other terrorist networks but admitted the lack of specific evidence regarding these particular attacks.

How does Iran’s support and assistance to Hamas contribute to the destabilization of the region?
From the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) provided training and weapons to Hamas militants in Gaza. The IRGC, classified as a terrorist organization by various countries, has a long history of supporting and financing militant groups in the Middle East, including Hamas. This involvement further confirms Iran’s role in supporting terrorism and destabilizing the region.
The Hamas attack on Israel resulted in the death of several Israeli civilians and heightened tensions in the already volatile region. Despite the devastating consequences, Hamas continues to receive support and assistance from Iran, who seek to further their own political agenda through proxy groups like Hamas.
Iran has long viewed Israel as its nemesis and has called for its destruction on multiple occasions. Through its support of Hamas, Iran aims to weaken Israel and promote its own influence in the region. By providing training and weapons to Hamas militants, Iran exacerbates the conflict and undermines the peace efforts in the Middle East.
The involvement of Iran in the recent Hamas attack raises serious concerns about the extent of Iran’s support for terrorism. It is clear that Iran is not only a state sponsor of terrorism but also an active participant in attacks against its perceived enemies. The international community must condemn Iran’s actions and hold them accountable for the destabilization they cause in the region.
The Biden administration’s reluctance to acknowledge Iran’s involvement in the Hamas attack is disconcerting. Despite the mounting evidence, the Biden administration continues to downplay Iran’s role, potentially as an attempt to salvage the ongoing negotiations on the Iran nuclear deal. However, turning a blind eye to Iran’s support for terrorist organizations will only embolden Iran and further endanger regional stability.
It is essential for the international community to unite against Iran’s support for terrorism and take appropriate actions to address this issue. Sanctions and diplomatic pressure should be imposed on Iran to deter them from engaging in such activities. Moreover, increased intelligence cooperation and sharing of information can help uncover further evidence of Iran’s involvement in acts of terrorism.
In conclusion, the confirmation of Iran’s involvement in the Hamas attack underscores the extent of Iran’s support for terrorism in the region. It is imperative for the international community to address this issue promptly and take decisive actions against Iran. Failure to do so will only contribute to the escalation of violence and instability in the Middle East.
