The highest religious leader of Iran, the Ayatollah Ali Jameneipublished in the early hours of this Friday (Iran time) a message on X (formerly Twitter) in Hebrew, in which he says that Israel lies to its citizens regarding the development of the conflict with the Islamist organization Hamas and assures that it will be “destroyed in days without the help of the United States”.
“The Zionist entity (for Israel) is lying to you, and it also lies when it expressed to the Palestinians its concern for its prisoners. But it also destroys them with the bombings it carries out”says Khamenei in the message collected by the Israeli newspaper Haaretz.
In a separate publication, the Iranian cleric assures that ““The Zionist regime will be paralyzed in a matter of days without US help.”
Both Hamas and the Lebanese group Hezbollah receive Iranian financing and are considered terrorists by both the European Union and the United States.
Iran has built a network of allies in the Middle East with the support of countries and militias known as the Axis of Resistance that allow it to extend its influence to Lebanon, Iraq, Syria, Yemen and the Gaza Strip, and which now threatens Israel. .
This informal alliance, deeply anti-Israel and anti-American, is one of the pillars of Tehran’s foreign policy, which has a variable influence on the different actors that make up the group.
This Friday marks the twenty-eighth day of war between Israel and Hamas, which began on October 7 following an attack by the Islamist organization once morest Israeli territory, which left 1,400 dead, more than 5,400 injured and 242 kidnapped who were taken to Gaza.
Since then, Israel has carried out bombings once morest the Strip, and last Friday it launched a ground offensive, which has caused more than 8,800 deaths and more than 22,000 injuries.
