Iravani said there was cooperation and collaboration, but that Iran was not directing any of those operations, the Islamic Republic’s United Nations ambassador told CNN in an interview.
“We have said very clearly that Iran is not involved in any attack against the United States forces in the region,” he said, adding that any attacks on US forces in Syria and Iraq were undertaken by others at “their own decision and by their own direction.”
Earlier on Thursday night, the Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian said in a telephone conversation with his Qatari counterpart, “Due to the expansion of the intensity of the war against Gaza’s civilian residents, expansion of the scope of the war has become inevitable.”
The war started after the territory’s resistance movements waged a surprise attack against the occupying entity, dubbed Operation al-Aqsa Storm, in response to its decades-long campaign of bloodletting and devastation against Palestinians.
Thirty-four days have passed since the beginning of the Zionist aggression on the Gaza Strip. In these attacks, 10,569 people, including 4,237 children, 2,823 women and girls, and 631 elderly people were martyred. In addition, there have been reports of more than 3,000 missing and 26,000 injured Palestinian citizens.
