“I warn the US and its proxy Israel that if they do not immediately stop the crime against humanity and genocide in Gaza, anything is possible at any moment and the region will go out of control,” Iran’s Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian said.

He claimed that Washington was “to blame” for the conflict since it had provide Israel military assistance. Iran supports both Lebanon’s Hezbollah and Hamas, the Palestinian militant organization that attacked Israel two weeks ago and killed 1,400 people.

According to the Hamas-run health ministry, more than 4,600 Palestinians have been killed in the ongoing war in Gaza Strip. Israel has declared that it will intensify airstrikes.

Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu meets with soldiers on the northern border and issues words of warning to the Hezbollah terror group amid repeated clashes on the border with Lebanon. He warned Hezbollah against becoming involved in the fight, saying that they might be “making the biggest mistake.”

Hezbollah top official vowed that Israel will pay a high price whenever it starts a ground offensive in the Gaza Strip and said that his militant group based in Lebanon already is “in the heart of the battle.”
