“We announced to the Zionist regime, via its supporters, that if it does not stop its crimes in Gaza, tomorrow will be too late,” Iran’s Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian said in an interview with Aljazeera while on a Qatar visit on Sunday.
Iran cannot just watch this situation as a bystander. If the scope of the war expands, heavy losses will be inflicted on the United States, Amir-Abdollahian further warned.
Iran’s foreign minister expressed hope that political efforts will prevent the spread of war.
Stating that the continuation of the Zionist attacks and the lack of a political solution will cause the situation to flare up, he pointed out the situation is likely to get out of control while the region and its players will not remain bystanders.
Israeli regime forces launched a sustained and forceful military attack against the Gaza Strip in response to a military operation last Saturday by the Palestinian group Hamas in Israel.
As many as 2,269 people, including over 700 Palestinian children, have been so far killed and 9,814 others injured since the regime launched its bloody aggression against the coastal territory.
In its latest updated figures released by the Zionist regime’s army, on Sunday morning it said that the number of soldiers killed during the Al-Aqsa Storm operation increased to 286.
A total of more than 1300 Zionist settlers and soldiers have been killed in the Al-Aqsa Storm operation launched by Hamas last Saturday.
