BEIRUT — On Saturday, Iranian Foreign Minister, Hossein Amirabdollahian, threatened Israeli officials stating that if Israel does not cease their advances on Gaza, the war could expand to other parts of the Middle East.
If Iran were to join the war on the side of Palestine, it could cause disaster in many parts of Israel, as Iran is estimated to have 150,000 rockets and missiles ready for the war, and several distinct types of military drones that can reach anywhere in Israel.
Foreign Minister Amirabdollahian commented on the war during his meeting with Hezbollah leader, Hassan Nasrallah, saying. “I know about the scenarios that Hezbollah has put in place. Any step the resistance will take will cause a huge earthquake in the Zionist entity.”
“I want to warn the war criminals and those who support this entity before it’s too late to stop the crimes against civilians in Gaza, because it might be too late in a few hours.”
Hamas officials have reported over 1,300 civilians and soldiers were killed during the attack on south Israel last Saturday, with this being the largest amount of Israeli casualties since the start of the war.
United States President, Joe Biden also voiced his concerns for the war in Israel, commenting. “At my direction, our teams are working in the region including communicating directly with the governments of Israel, Egypt, Jordan, and other Arab nations and the United Nations to surge support and humanitarian consequences for Hamas’ attack to help Israel.
With the war in Ukraine, and now the war in Israel, the threat of a Third World War is becoming more of a possibility.
