Iran Warns Israel of Repercussions of Ground Attack on Gaza
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – The foreign minister of Iran cautioned the Zionist regime that any ground assault on the Gaza Strip will have dire regional consequences.
“If the measures aimed at immediately stopping the Israeli attacks that are killing children in the Gaza Strip end in a deadlock, it is highly probable that many other fronts will be opened. This option is not ruled out and this is becoming increasingly more probable,” Hossein Amirabdollahian told Al Jazeera on Sunday.
“If the Zionist entity decides to enter Gaza, the resistance leaders will turn it into a graveyard of the occupation soldiers,” he warned.
Amirabdollahian also reiterated Tehran’s call for an urgent meeting of the foreign ministers of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) on Gaza.
Since the Palestinian Hamas movement carried out the Al-Aqsa Storm operation outside Gaza on October 7, Israeli air strikes have killed more than 2,670 people – a quarter of them children – and wounded nearly 10,000 others in Gaza, where a catastrophic humanitarian crisis is unfolding.
The United Nations estimates one million people – nearly half of Gaza’s population – have been forced from their homes, as the Israeli regime’s military prepares for an expected ground invasion.
