Tehran denies involvement in Hamas attack as Israel imposes complete siege on Gaza

Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei denied Tehran's involvement in the recent Hamas attack on Israel, but praised the attack as an "irreparable" military and intelligence defeat for Israel. Khamenei blamed Israel's own actions for the destruction caused by the attack. While Israel has accused Iran of supplying arms to Hamas, the United States stated it had no evidence supporting this claim. Khamenei warned that an attack on Gaza would unleash a greater torrent of anger and result in even greater disaster. Israeli TV channels reported a death toll of 900 and over 2,600 injured, while Gaza's Health Ministry stated that at least 687 Palestinians were killed and 3,726 wounded in Israeli air strikes since Saturday.
