With Iran and Saudi Arabia sharing concerns about the escalation between Israel and Hamas, the US warned Tehran to be careful. Amid speculations of Iran playing a role in Hamas’ attack, the US has no evidence to blame the Iranian government.
In fact, the US intelligence says Tehran was equally surprised. But the Biden administration is not ready to close this chapter. Washington has pushed its intelligence community to look for evidence of Iranian involvement.
Raisi also blamed the western countries and their repeated miscalculations for the Israel-Hamas war. “The only principled solution to the Palestinian problem, as the main problem of the region, is to pay attention to the rights of the oppressed people of this land, based on and according to the proposal of the Republic Islamic Iran for all Palestinians to determine their fate in a democratic process and in a free and fair election.”
