 Iran helped Hamas plan attack on Israel. Senior members of Hamas and Hezbollah have said that Iranian security officials helped plan Hamas' surprise attack on Israel and gave the green light for the attack at a meeting in Beirut. The Wall Street Journal reported this. Officers from Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps have been working with Hamas since August to develop an air, ground and sea invasion plan. The details of the operation were finalized during several meetings in Beirut attended by Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps officers and representatives of four Iranian-backed militant groups including Hamas which holds power in Gaza and Hezbollah, a Lebanese Shiite Muslim militant group and political party. US officials say they have seen no evidence of Tehran's involvement. In an interview with CNN, that Secretary of State Antony Blinken said we have not yet seen evidence that Iran directed or was behind this particular attack but there is certainly a long relationship. We don't have information at this time to corroborate this account, said a US official of the meetings. However, a European official and an advisor to the Syrian government provided the same information about Iran's involvement in the preparation of the attack as the senior members of Hamas and Hezbollah. Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran's Supreme Leader, praised the attacks, saying in a post on X that, the Yusrpa Zionist regime will be eradicated at the hands of the Palestinian people and the resistance forces throughout the region. A direct role for Iran would bring Tehran's long-running conflict with Israel out of obscurity, increasing the risk of a wider conflict in the Middle East. Senior Israeli security officials have vowed to strike at Iran's leadership if Tehran is found responsible for the murder of Israelis. A broader plan of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps is to create a multi-front threat that could suffocate Israel from all sides. Hezbollah and the popular front for the liberation of Palestine in the North and Palestinian Islamic Jihad and Hamas in Gaza and the West Bank. Israel has accused Iran of being behind the attacks, albeit indirectly.
