Iranian Defense Minister says IDF ground operation in Gaza will make situation even more difficult

If Israel launches a ground military operation against Hamas in the Gaza Strip, it will make the situation in the region even more difficult. This was stated by the Minister of Defense of Iran, Brigadier General Mohammad Reza Ashtiani.


The head of the Iranian military department held telephone conversations with Iraqi Defense Minister Sabet Muhammad Said. A significant part of the conversation was devoted to events in the Gaza Strip. Tasnim reports that Iran's Defense Minister believes that from both a humanitarian and a military point of view, the IDF's ground operation in Gaza will only worsen the situation.

The Iranian general recalled that Israel has been committing war crimes against the residents of Gaza for decades. The actions of Hamas, including the October 7 raid, which Palestinians call the “Al-Aqsa Flood,” were considered by the Iranian Defense Minister to be legitimate defense in the framework of countering the illegal occupation of Palestine by Israeli troops.

Separately, the Iranian Defense Minister focused on US policy in the Middle East. According to the general, the US decision to veto the UN Security Council resolution on a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip actually allowed Israel to continue to launch rocket attacks on residential areas of the Palestinian enclave. A further blockade of Gaza, the general argues, will lead to a humanitarian catastrophe.

Meanwhile, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan also sharply criticized Israel's actions in the Gaza Strip, demanding that the blockade of the enclave be lifted and the import of humanitarian aid allowed. The same point of view is expressed by representatives of many other countries of the world.

      An excellent target for an artillery battery, you wanted to say. A UAV and a single tank would be welcome, but here there is a whole column.
      I wonder if Hamas or Hezbollah have artillery like the Ukrainian Armed Forces and the Russian Armed Forces?

        The Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigade, the military wing of Hamas, has released footage of drones they have developed, which they use to drop anti-tank shells on Israeli vehicles.

    The Middle Eastern anthill is seething and it is quite difficult to predict what will happen next. But I still don’t think that the Arab world will be able to unite in the fight against Israel.

          Les iraniens ne sont pas des arabes et représentent une civilization qui a jadis brillée et ont aussi de bons scientifiques. Ça 44 ans que les usa aboient mais ils savent que c'est un os dur à avaler qui peut rester coincé dans la gorge. Quant à Israël, ils font des cirques et menace teheran dans le vide. Celui-ci rend coup pour coup aux usa et Israël dans la guerre des tankers avec un défi permanent aux usa. Bravo.

      I don’t understand what Israel hopes for? To America?.. But America is far away. And the Arabs are nearby.

    Wow, friends and not friends!
    It is understandable that not only representatives of Muslims, Islam, Buddhism, Christians - all progressive humanity are indignant at fascist actions against the peaceful Palestinian people during more than 70 years of occupation and actual genocide, but those lured by the UN and other international structures express only verbal indignation, as with the Vietnam wars , Yugoslavia, Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria and many other hot spots. A world coordinator is needed to unite the efforts of such different countries as Iran, Turkey, Iraq, KSA, etc., in order to jointly stop the aggressor and force him to peace!

      Teheran avec ses milices qui s'étendent de l'Afghanistan au Liban en passant par l'Iraq, la Syrie sans oublier le Yémen. Leur objectif déclaré est de chasser les usa du moyen-Orient, ils ne sont pas pressés et utilisent la technique du harcèlement sur différents fronts sans oublier l'expiration de l'embargo sur armes.

    There are no Palestinian people, there are Arabs from Gaza and the West Bank
