Iran’s Khamenei denies involvement in Hamas attack on Israel
Tehran, Iran — AFP
Iran’s Supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has denied any Iranian involvement in Hamas’s shock weekend attack on Israel despite its strong support for the Palestinian resistance group.
“The supporters of the Zionist regime (Israel) and some people in the usurping regime have been spreading rumours over the past two or three days, including that Islamic Iran was behind this action. They are wrong,” Khamenei said in a speech at a military academy.
“Of course, we defend Palestine, we defend the struggles,” he added, urging “the whole Islamic world” to “support the Palestinians.”
Khamenei said Israel has suffered an “irreparable failure” on both “military and intelligence” fronts.
“Everyone has spoken of the failure, I put the emphasise on its irreparability,” he said.
Iran took the lead in celebrating the Hamas reprisal attack in which at least 1,500 gunmen stormed the Israeli border and targeted the Israeli military establishment.
The Israeli army has responded with a ferocious bombardment of Gaza.
