Iran Offers Congratulations To Hamas For Terror Attacks On Israel

The Iranian government has extended congratulations to the Hamas terror group for its recent attacks on Israel, which resembled a formal and large-scale terror raid.

Naser Kanaani, the spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Republic, stated that the "operations conducted today have marked a new chapter in the realm of resistance and armed actions against occupiers."

In 1984, Iran was designated as a State Sponsor of Terrorism, and it has since persisted in its backing of activities associated with terrorism. This support includes assistance to Hezbollah, Palestinian terrorist factions in Gaza, as well as multiple terrorist and militant organizations operating in Iraq, Syria, and Bahrain.

Kanaani said, "Today's events are consistent with the ongoing successes of the anti-Zionist resistance movement across various regions, including Syria, Lebanon, and the occupied territories."

Iranian officials commonly use the term "Zionist regime" when referring to Israel.

The Iranian regime has also displayed billboards in Tehran's Palestine Square expressing support for the attacks on Israel, with a rough translation of the billboard reading "Storm of Rockets."

Additionally, members affiliated with the Basij, an IRGC-linked militia organization, distributed sweets and juice in the streets and at the University of Qom to celebrate the attacks.

Such actions have taken place amid strong condemnation from world leaders regarding the terror attack, which resulted in the deaths of at least 100 Israeli civilians and the injury of hundreds more.

Meanwhile, Iran’s Islamic Propaganda Organization, has announced its plan to organize government-sponsored celebrations in the streets of Tehran and other Iranian cities.
