DOHA, Qatar -- Iran on Sunday warned that any Israeli ground offensive in the Gaza Strip could expand the scope of the conflict elsewhere in the Middle East.
Israeli troops manuever a tank near kibbutz Nahal Oz on the border with the Gaza Strip on October 15, 2023. More than one million people have been displaced in the Gaza Strip in the last week, the UN said on October 25, after a week of Israeli bombardment and warnings about a ground attack against Hamas commanders.
"No one can guarantee the control of the situation and the non-expansion of the conflicts," he said, according to an Iranian foreign ministry statement. Amir-Abdollahian also criticised the United States, which has given its unequivocal backing to Israel since the October 7 attacks by Hamas fighters that left 1,400 people dead in Israel.
In Washington, White House National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan said the United States feared an escalation of war, and the prospect of Iran -- Israel's long-time foe and supporter of Hamas -- becoming"directly engaged".
