Iran – Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian warned on Monday night that Iran could launch a regional attack against Israel unless the Gaza bombing stopped.
"If the Zionists do not stop their crimes and criminal attacks on the people of Gaza, no one can guarantee that the war will not spread across the region," Amirabdollahian said in a conversation with his Chinese counterpart Wang Yi, as quoted from the Jerusalem post.
Iran has issued public warnings and sent a private message to Israel through the United Nations that it could intervene if Israel continued its military campaign to root Hamas out of Gaza,

Minister Amirabdollahian also denied giving orders to Hamas and Hezbollah militias to form an axis of resistance.
"When we talk about resistance in the region, it is not only Hezbollah, and we are witnessing the activities of various resistance groups in the region," the Iranian official said, threatening that if the war expands to other areas it will bring changes to the map of Israel.

The minister added that if the Zionist regime is not stopped, then new fronts will open up and other problems cannot be avoided.
In addition, the US Secretary of State has also sent a message to Iran to exercise restraint and not expand the conflict. However, Iran replied that it had no intention of going in that direction.
"We are not trying to expand the war, but restraint cannot be done unilaterally," the Minister said.
When asked if Iran might join the war against Israel, Amirabdollahian replied that anything is possible.
"Every possibility is possible, no party can be indifferent to the continuation of this crime."
The Iranian official also added that by not defending Gaza today, they will have to face Israeli phosphorus bombs in Iranian hospitals later.
