“Time is running out. They should find a solution within an international framework and should stop Netanyahu before the crisis deepens. They should know that time is running out and should find a political solution before reaching the boiling point,” Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian warned this morning.
Iran’s Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA) reported that the Foreign Minister had met with Hezbollah and “resistance leaders,” including Lebanon’s Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah over the past several days, and consulted with his counterparts from some Islamic countries (unnamed) on Oct. 16. As for the latter: “They came to the conclusion that `if the limited opportunities that the United Nations has are not used, the possibility of the opening of new fronts against the regime is unavoidable,’” IRNA reported.
As for Iran, Amir-Abdollahian said that Tehran does not support the expansion of the conflict, but the country may enter the war, as no party can remain indifferent with the ongoing situation, because “if we do not defend Gaza today, we should defend our cities tomorrow,” IRNA quoted him as saying.
As for the resistance leaders, the Foreign Minister said they were all of the opinion “that they will give a chance to a political solution if any is reached, but `any action is possible’ in case that the Zionist regime continues its war crimes against civilians…. Any preemptive measure is possible in the coming hours” against Israel’s regime, reported IRNA.
Imam Sayyid Ali Khamenei, Iran’s Supreme Leader, similarly warned that if the atrocities committed by the Israeli regime continue, “the Muslims will lose their patience. The resistance forces will lose their patience. No one will be able to stop them.” If that happens, no one should expect that someone else will be able to stop them. “This is a reality.”
Both warnings were issued before the hospital in Gaza was bombed.
