Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi says Israel’s ongoing airstrikes and ground operation in Gaza “may force everyone to take action.”

“Zionist regime’s crimes have crossed the red lines, which may force everyone to take action,” Raisi writes on X, formerly known as Twitter.

“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,” Raisi writes.

Iran has long warned that Israel’s war against the Tehran-backed Hamas terror group may be expanded.

Both Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and US President Joe Biden have cautioned Tehran against involvement, including via its proxies, chief among them Lebanon-based terror group Hezbollah.
