Iranian Spokesman Says Gaza Conflict beyond 'Hamas-Israel War'
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Nasser Kanaani said the reality in Gaza surpasses a simplistic labeling such as “Hamas-Israel war”, describing it as a comprehensive military assault by an occupying regime with American support.
Kanaani compared the ongoing propaganda campaign waged by the Zionist regime and the US coalition against the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas to the unrelenting barrage of missiles faced by the Palestinian people in Gaza.
He clarified that the situation in Gaza is not a war between Israel and Hamas but “a comprehensive military assault by an occupying regime, heavily armed and politically, militarily, technologically, operationally, and propagandistically supported by the American regime against the Palestinian people.”
The spokesman highlighted that the Palestinians have faced occupation for 75 years, enduring a relentless onslaught including attacks, killings, expulsion, assassination, detention, torture, siege, and bombardment by the occupying regime.
He emphasized that the propaganda bombardment by the Zionist-American axis against Palestinians is no less impactful than the missile bombardment they face.
At least 16,248 Palestinians have been killed by Israel in Gaza since October 7.
