Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi issued renewed threats to Israel and the US after Israel launched a ground offensive in Gaza against Hamas.
“The Zionist regime’s crimes have crossed the red lines, which may force everyone to take action,” he said, suggesting once again the threat of action from its proxies in the region.
Zionist regime’s crimes have crossed the red lines, which may force everyone to take action. Washington asks us to not do anything, but they keep giving widespread support to Israel. The US sent messages to the Axis of Resistance but received a clear response on the battlefield.

“Washington asks us to not do anything, but they keep giving widespread support to Israel,” Raisi stated in his post on X on Sunday morning.
IDF spokesman Daniel Hagari confirmed the ground invasions, explaining they are being carried out “in a phased manner”. He said, “This will take time.”
Denying its hand in the ever heightening regional tensions, the Iranian president claimed its proxies are “independent” and “do not receive any orders from Tehran”, blaming the US.
The Iranian Revolutionary Guards spokesperson said that the supporters of the entity, especially Washington, must realize that the continued killing of the Palestinians will lead to the patience of Muslims running out at some point.”
The spokesperson continued saying, “Let the supporters of the [Israeli] regime know that those who cannot reach the Zionist entity [in battle] may be able to reach the US forces who are managing this war.”
