🇮🇷🇵🇸 IRANIAN FOREIGN MINISTER WARNS RESISTANCE FRONT COULD PREEMPTIVELY STRIKE ISRAEL IF POLITICAL SOLUTION IS NOT FOUND
Iranian Foreign Minister, Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, speaking in a televised interview, warned that if the Israeli regimes crimes against Palestinian civilians did not stop, "any possibility" would be likely, including preemptive strikes.
The Iranian Foreign Minister made the comments Monday after finishing up a regional tour through Iraq, Lebanon, Syria and Qatar
"During my regional trip and meetings that I had with leaders of the resistance front, they believed that an opportunity should be given to political solutions," Amir-Abdollahian said.
"However, in the event that the Israeli regime's war crimes against civilians continue, any possibility is likely."
Amir-Abdollahian noted that all options were open to the Resistance Front, including the Lebanese Hezbollah movement, and said these groups have taken all considerations into account in meticulous detail.
"The resistance leaders will not allow the Zionist regime to do whatever [it wants] in the region," the Iranian Foreign Minister told reporters, "Every preemptive measure is conceivable in the coming hours."
If we do not defend Gaza today, we would have to defend our [own] cities," the top diplomat said, citing Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah as saying that if the movement did not resort to preemptive action against Israel, "tomorrow, we would have to fight off the Zionist forces in Beirut."
"The issue at hand is that what has happened [in the occupied territories] has been an earthquake in [the ranks of] the Zionist regime," Amir-Abdollahian said.
Citing conversations with other Arab leaders, Amir-Abdollahian said, “We have reached the conclusion that if limited and narrow possibilities available to the United Nations are not taken advantage of, the possibility of opening new fronts against the [Israeli] regime is inevitable."
The Iranian Foreign Minister added that an extensive war against the occupation forces by the Resistance Front “will change the geographical map of the al-Quds occupying regime.”
Amir-Abdollahian went on to slam the United States for urging 'self-restraint' while supporting the Israeli regime's brutal siege and bombing of Gaza.
“We have clearly told the American sides, and I announce [here] that they cannot invite all parties to self-restraint, but offer their full support to the Israeli criminals,” Amir-Abdollahian said.
"The time for America [to send] such messages is coming to an end," he said, adding, "I warn you to stop the bloodshed of women and children [in Gaza] instead of sending hypocritical messages."
