Hamas issues a statement condemning the US strike against Iran’s nuclear facilities.

“This brutal aggression constitutes a dangerous escalation and a blind adherence to the agenda of the rogue Zionist occupation,” Hamas says in a statement.

The terror group says it holds the Trump administration and Israel “fully responsible for the grave repercussions of this aggression.”

“We affirm our solidarity with our brothers in the Islamic Republic… and our complete confidence in Iran’s ability to defend its sovereignty and the interests of its people,” Hamas says.
