Iran has told Israel through the UN that it will intervene if the country’s operations against Hamas in Gaza continue, a report has claimed.

Israel has warned 1.1 million people living in the north of the enclave to evacuate ahead of an expected ground operation in Gaza with the IDF planning to strike the territory from land, sea and air.

Iran’s involvement could be through a militant group from Syria or by backing Hezbollah to join the conflict, diplomatic sources told Axios.

Meanwhile, Iran’s foreign minister Hossein Amirabdollahian said that Israel’s operations could cause fighting to expand to other areas of the Middle East which would cause Israel to suffer “a huge earthquake”, reported the Associated Press.

      Only if you assume Iran is an infallible moral authority and not an authoritarian regime working to further it’s own interests. I am not defending Iran but I’ll be damned if I’ll let people who are being oppressed shit on other people being oppressed.

          All countries foreign policy is based on the pursuit of power regardless of morality or consistency.

            Do you think Iran is shipping out arms to boost the number of casualties, thereby weakening military forces in the region?

      It’s not an alliance of shared ideals. They support Russia because the West supports Ukraine.
