Iran’s top religious leader declared in a Hebrew message on social media this morning that Israel is lying about the war with Hamas and that the country will be destroyed “within days” without American support.
‘The Zionist entity [Israel] you lie to them [aos israelitas] and he is also lying when he expresses concern to the Palestinians about their prisoners. But he also destroys them with his bombings.”Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said in a message on the social network X, published by the Israeli newspaper Haaretz.
In a separate post, the Iranian cleric stated this “The Zionist regime will be paralyzed within days without help from the United States”.
Both Hamas and the Lebanese group Hezbollah receive Iranian funding and are considered terrorist groups by the European Union and the United States.
Hezbollah leader Sayyed Nasrallah said on social media that he will give a speech this Friday, the first since the start of the conflict between Israel and pro-Iranian Islamist movements. Experts admit that this speech could determine whether the conflict will spread in the region. .
Iran has established a network of allies in the Middle East, with the support of countries and militias, known as the Axis of Resistance, allowing Tehran to expand its influence into Lebanon, Iraq, Syria, Yemen and the Gaza Strip.
This informal alliance, which opposes Israel and the United States, is one of the pillars of Iranian foreign policy and exerts influence over the various actors that make up the group.
This Friday marks the 28th day of the war between Israel and Hamas, which began on October 7, after an attack by the Islamist group on Israeli territory in Gaza left 1,400 dead, 5,400 injured and 242 hostages taken.
Since then, Israel has been bombing the Gaza Strip and launched a ground offensive a week ago that has already caused more than 8,800 deaths and more than 22,000 injuries.
