Iran's Foreign Minister Warns of Armed Groups Ready to Strike

Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian warns that armed groups allied with Iran are prepared to strike if Israel's war against Hamas continues. He states that these groups have plans that are "more powerful and deeper" than what has been witnessed so far. Iran sponsors various militant groups in the region and has provided weapons and support for Hamas. The warning comes as Israel intensifies its airstrikes on Gaza, resulting in thousands of Palestinian casualties. Amir-Abdollahian claims that Iran provides only political support for Hamas, but acknowledges that Hamas has sufficient weapons of its own. He also discusses the possibility of a ceasefire and the release of non-military hostages held by Hamas.
