Hamas Condemns U.S. Strike on Iran, Declares Full Solidarity Amid Escalating Tensions
The Palestinian resistance group Hamas has issued a forceful condemnation of the recent U.S. military strike on Iranian nuclear facilities, labeling the action as “open aggression” and a grave violation of international law. The group expressed unwavering solidarity with Iran, warning that such escalations threaten to plunge the Middle East into deeper instability.
In a statement released early Sunday, Hamas declared, “This brutal aggression constitutes a dangerous escalation and a blind adherence to the agenda of the rogue Zionist occupation.” The group held both the U.S. administration and Israel “fully responsible for the grave repercussions of this aggression”2.
The U.S. strike, reportedly targeting nuclear sites in Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan, has drawn widespread international criticism. Iran has vowed to respond, while downplaying the extent of the damage. The attack comes amid ongoing Israeli military operations in Gaza, where tens of thousands of Palestinians have been killed since October 2023.
Hamas emphasized that Iran is being targeted for its support of the Palestinian cause and its independent regional stance. “We affirm our complete confidence in Iran’s ability to defend its sovereignty and the interests of its people,” the statement read.
The condemnation adds to a growing chorus of international voices urging restraint. The United Nations, Russia, and several Middle Eastern nations have called for de-escalation and a return to diplomacy5.
As tensions mount, observers warn that continued military actions could ignite a broader regional conflict, with devastating consequences for global peace and security.
