DUBAI—Iranian security officials helped plan Hamas’s Saturday surprise attack on Israel and gave the green light for the assault at a meeting in Beirut last Monday, according to senior members of Hamas and Hezbollah, another Iran-backed militant group.
Officers of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps had worked with Hamas since August to devise the air, land and sea incursions—the most significant breach of Israel’s borders since the 1973 Yom Kippur War—those people said.
Details of the operation were refined during several meetings in Beirut attended by IRGC officers and representatives of four Iran-backed militant groups, including Hamas, which holds power in Gaza, and Hezbollah, a Shiite militant group and political faction in Lebanon, they said.
U.S. officials say they haven’t seen evidence of Tehran’s involvement.

A European official and an adviser to the Syrian government, however, gave the same account of Iran’s involvement in the lead-up to the attack as the senior Hamas and Hezbollah members.

The IRGC’s broader plan is to create a multi-front threat that can strangle 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, according to the senior Hamas and Hezbollah members and an Iranian official.

Hamas has publicly acknowledged receiving support from Iran. And on Sunday, Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi talked to Palestinian Islamic Jihad leader Ziyad al-Nakhalah and Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh.

Indeed.
If someone does not flatten Iran then we know for sure they win.
What is your theory?
No terrorist attacks or war ever end well.
By the way, how's that "drowned chef" investigation coming along?
The media’s been blaming Republican Speaker of the House “chaos” for causing this terrorist attack since it happened. So many articles today referring to “chaos.” The media prostitutes must have been given their marching orders.
Obama is just a puppet as well.
Granted.
Man, half the DemoKKKrats on Twit including that spooge-inhaler Chris Murphy (sen).
Biden/Obama is. The rest of the country knows who the enemies of the United States are.
Now if they could just see that the democrat party is also an enemy...
.
Well add the USA to the headline as well! I’m sure that 6 billion will help go a long way towards terrorism. Another “Mission Accomplished” for the Obama/Biden regime!
Exactly!
Sometimes, just sometimes war comes to you whether you want it or not.
Some people are seeing this through the Russian/Ukraine lens only, and that is affecting their judgement on some pretty ugly stuff. Deliberate killing of women, kids and old people while taking hostages are not legal means of warfare.
Some are trying to say the Jews planned this so they could raze Gaza.
You can’t turn people who want to believe the most crazy conspiracy theories when even evidence appears, because they will believe what they want rather than what they hear.
I believe we can let Israel deal with this without our help.
No war mongers needed. We can help the most by not trying to hold them back, but actually have their back this time.
yeah that didn’t age well lol
The carnage was actually a great coup and victory in the eyes of the Muslims.
It does not surprise me that they would brag about it to each other, even if not true.
Most worrying is the threat from attackers permitted to enter through our own wide open border. The very recent “concern” about our porous border may be from intel regarding a planned attack. Likely not a coincidence with recent Middle East situation.
Saddle up! We have the 2nd amendment in our country. Both Florida and Alabama have open carry.
I suggest folks arm up.
I actually took my 1911 outside today and fired off a box of rounds. My hand is sore! Now I got to clean it.
But I’m not going cowering behind some desk or tree.
That’s just nuts. But then again, so is insisting that men who wear makeup and dresses are women.
