Iran’s Foreign Minister Hossein Amir Abdollahian said the United States would suffer “significant damage”if the war in Gaza expands, the Al Jazeera network reported.

“We sent the message to the Zionist regime through its allies that if it does not stop the atrocities in Gaza, Iran cannot remain a mere observer”the Iranian foreign minister said in an interview with the Qatar News Network.

“If the field of war expands, significant damage will be done to America,” he said.

He said in his statements today that “if the Zionist attacks do not stop, the hands of all sides in the region are on the trigger», Iran’s Fars news agency reported.

In particular, Hossein Amir-Abdollahian stated that no one can guarantee the control of the situation if Israel launches a ground attack on the Gaza Strip, according to the Iranian Foreign Ministry.

The Iranian Foreign Minister was on a visit to Qatar where he discussed “the situation in the Palestinian territories” with Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani, according to Qatar’s QNA news agency. Yesterday, he met with Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh, who resides in Doha.

“If the attacks of the Zionist regime against the defenseless population of Gaza continue, no one can guarantee the control of the situation and the prospect of an expansion of the conflict” said Hossein Amir-Abdollahian.

Escalation

“Iran cannot stand idly by,” the Iranian foreign minister repeated in an interview with the al-Jazeera network, adding that the United States would also be affected in the event of a flare-up in the Middle East region.

Qatar has played the role of mediator between Hamas and Israel in the past. He was also involved in the prisoner swap deal between the United States and Iran, which included Washington unfreezing $6 billion in Iranian assets.

This agreement was criticized by voices of the American opposition, according to which “this amount allowed Iran to finance the attack of Hamas against Israel».

Qatar and the United States however, they announced on Friday that they will not back down from their commitments.
