Following the attack launched by Hamas against Israel on the morning of Saturday, October 7, it was said that Israeli intelligence services had failed to foresee the most serious conflict since the 1973 Arab-Israeli war. to what the expert portal has reconstructed Foreign policyIntelligence operatives in Gaza and the West Bank are the same people who were able to steal “tons of data from inside Iran without being detected.” He also allegedly carried out a “satellite-controlled machine gun” attack that “seamlessly” assassinated Iran’s top nuclear scientist.

Relations between Hamas and Tehran
Ayatollah Khameneini’s regime has long had close ties with Hamas, Hezbollah and other anti-Israel militia groups. US Secretary of State Antony Blinken pointed out the long-term relationship between Iran and the Palestinian political group and said, “Hamas would not be Hamas without the support it has received from Iran for years.” This report is now cited as the basis for Iran’s possible support for the terrorist attack launched by Hamas. The Biden administration is questioning this, even though it claims there is no evidence of direct Iranian involvement, pointing fingers. Tehran did not hide its closeness, praising the attack. US newspaper held Iran directly responsible Wall Street Magazine, He said officers from Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) had “collaborated with Hamas since August to plan air, land and sea attacks” that culminated in the attack.

Israel’s biggest weakness is land war. The fight with missiles is the real deal.” Not problem.” The point of the struggle.” The text continues: “They know that the regions must be liberated by ground forces.

To a large extent, the Iranian leader, Hamas’ He described exactly the type of attack carried out by hundreds of militiamen against southern Israeli territory, by sea and even by air using motorized paragliders.
Khamenei’s reference groups
According to military experts, this operation will require significant coordination as well as an impressive amount of resources compared to Palestine’s economic resources. Therefore, the idea arose that the group would receive help from outside, especially from Iran. The Hezbollah group itself, considered a major political and paramilitary group based in Lebanon, regards Khamenei as its spiritual guide and is described by Hezbollah leading man Hassan Nasrallah as “our imam, our leader, our teacher”. But in recent years, Hamas has clashed with the Iranians over its support for Syrian President Bashar Assad’s regime. This position led to a complete cessation of aid to the group in 2011.

Starting from August, meetings will be held more frequently and visits will be held at least every two weeks. According to the US newspaper, Iranian Foreign Minister Hussein Emir Abdullahian also attended several of these meetings. Six days before the attack began, Iranian officials gave Hamas the “green light to attack.” However, talks between the Revolutionary Guard and Palestinian resistance groups are not new and were already known to the Israeli Ambassador to the United Nations. Currently, Iranian officials are praising and celebrating Hamas’ offensive while denying any direct role. The UN spokesman of the Iranian delegation said, “We are not involved in the intervention carried out specifically by Palestine.”
