Iran’s Foreign Minister Hossein Aminrabdollahian warned Israel and the United States the that so-called “Axis of Resistance” would defend of Palestinians in Gaza where Israeli Prime Minister Bemjamin Netanyahu declared war Oct. 7 after a Hamas slaughter in Kibbutzes and music festival killed 1,300 Israelis near the Gaza border. Hamas blindsided Israel with the most deadly massacre of Jews since the Holocaust, more killed in one day than since the 1948 founding of the Jewish State. Hamas slaughtered men, women and children, apparently beheading some, while taking around 150 hostages. Hossein speaks for Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei who congratulated Hamas for its genocide against the descendents of the Holocaust where some 6 million Jews were exterminated by Nazis in WW II. Hossein said the Axis of Resistance is ready to respond to Israel.
Hossein knows that parked off the Israeli and Gaza coast are U.S. super-carriers USS Georald R. Ford and USS Dwight D. Eisenhower and their strike groups ready to take on any Iranian or its proxies’ response. President Joe Biden already served notice that any country or group should stay out of the Israeli-Hamas war telling all parties “don’t” intervene. “Some Western officials have questioned if there is an intention to open a new front against the Zionist entity? Of course, in light of the continuation of these circumstances that are war crimes,” Hossein said. Hossein clearly shows Iran’s involvement in backing Hamas, not know whether Iran’s Revolutionary Guards participated in the training over two years leading up to the Oct. 7 slaughter that left 1,300 Israelis dead. Hossein said the “Axis of Resistance,” would join the fight to defend Hamas and Palestinians.
Hossein says iIraq’s Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, Lebanon’s Iranian-backed Hezbollah militia and its forces in Syria aiding Syrian President Bashar a-l Assad would join the fight to save Hamas. Iran supplies Hamas and Hezbollah rockets used to attack Israel. White House officials worry about a wider escalation to the war, with Hossein threatening to direct Iran’s surrogates, including Yemen’s Houthi rebels to attack Israel. Houhtis have Iranians drones and guided missiles used in Saudi Arabia for the past seven years to strike the Kingdom. Hossein knows that with all Iran’s financial and social problems, the Ayatollah is in no position to start a war with Israel or the U.S. Hossein admits that Iranian surrogates work as U.S. intel officials have accused as Tehran-state-sponsored terrorism, prompting Congress to demand no frozen Iranian assets are released.
Hossen has exposed for the world to see how Iran’s state-sponsored terrorism threatens countries all over the globe. Iran though it could make amends with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed Bid-Salman, the de facto leader of Saudi Arabia. Biden once said, unlike former President Donald Trump, he would never do business with the Crown Prince for his role in the death of Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi. Yet Biden had a change of heart begging Bin-Salman to ramp up oil production to help bring oil prices down in the U.S. Since the Feb. 24, 2022 Ukraine War, gas prices in the U.S. have doubled due to Biden’s Russian oil boycottl. Russian President Vladimir Putin has more than made up for Biden’s boycott with Moscow selling more oil to China and India than every before. When Biden fist-bumped Bin Salman July 16, 2022 in Jeddah, he was slammed by the U.S. press.
Iran has been blowing up and hijacking oil tankers in the Persian Gulf and Gulf of Omen where some 25% of the world’s oil supply comes through with impunity for years. Now Hossein admits that Iran’s surrogates wage proxy war in Saudi Arabia and anywhere else the Ayatollah wamts. “The continuation of war crimes against Palestine and Gaza will receive response from the rest of the axis. And naturally, the Zionist entity and its supporters [U.S.] will be responsible for its consequences of that,” Hossein said, directly threatening the U.S. Putting the super-carriers in the East Mediterranean is the best way to check Iran’s surrogates who do want a confrontation with the U.S. Iran likes to make aggressive statements about Israel to endear Shiites with Sunnis, usually at each others’ throats. U.S. intel officials see Iran’s involvement with Hamas recent slaughter in Southern Israel.
Iran’s Foreign Minister practically gave away the store admitting its proxy forces are ready-and-willing to intervene in the Israeli-Hamas war. White House officials agree with Israel that Hamas can no longer run the Gaza Strip after committing genocide against Israeli civilians. Biden put Iran and its proxies on notice to not intervene in Gaza or face military consequences, possibly from the U.S. Israel’s military is capable of responding to Iran or its proxies without U.S. help. Hossein seems to threaten the United States when he says the axis of resistance is ready to respond to more Israeli war crimes, referring to its ongoing operations in Gaza. Only hours or days away from a ground invasion, Netnayahu has prepared Israeli Defense Forces to go door-to-door in Gaza to root out Hamas militant and their terror machine. Netanyahu knows what he must do to protect Israel against another Holocaust.
