Palestinian militant group Hamas has called on Iran to avoid targeting neighboring countries in response to recent US-Israeli attacks, in a rare public sign of disagreement with its main backer and ally.
In a statement issued today, Hamas said it was following the US-Israeli war with Iran with deep concern, while reiterating its "strong condemnation of the American-Zionist aggression," which it said threatened peace and security in the region and the world.
Reaffirming Iran's right to respond to this aggression, Hamas said that Iran must desist from attacks on its neighbors. It called on all states in the region to cooperate to stop this aggression and preserve brotherly ties.
Tehran has continued to strike targets in Gulf countries in recent days, with the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia reporting intercepts over their territories earlier today, while Bahrain also urged residents to take shelter in the face of new Iranian launches.
Iran has been a key supporter of Hamas for decades, providing it with significant financial and technological assistance, viewing the Gaza-based group as an important part of its regional conflict with Israel.
Hamasi nuk është aleat i Iranit se është sunit dhe mbështetet nga armiqtë e iranit
