Hamas calls on Muslim countries to stop Israeli attacks on Iran

The Palestinian resistance group Hamas has issued a strongly worded statement, condemning recent US threats of military intervention against Iran and ongoing Israeli aggression, warning that such actions are pushing the region to the brink of war.

In the statement released Tuesday, Hamas said it "categorically rejects" what it described as continued Zionist attacks on the Islamic Republic of Iran, calling them "a blatant violation of international law and a direct threat to regional and global peace."

Hamas also condemned US military threats, warning of "serious consequences" if Washington becomes directly involved in any military escalation against Tehran.

“We hold Washington and the Zionist entity fully responsible for the repercussions of this escalation,” the group said.

Citing recent Israeli rhetoric, particularly claims that “no cities in the Middle East are safe,” Hamas accused Israeli leadership of harbouring “an arrogant colonial mindset” and displaying aggressive intentions that endanger regional stability.

The group affirmed its solidarity with Iran and backed Tehran’s “legitimate right to defend its national sovereignty.”

Hamas also called on Arab and Islamic countries to take a unified stance against what it termed "Zionist recklessness," urging regional governments to reject aggression and protect the collective security of the region.

The statement came amid heightened tensions in the Middle East, as concerns are growing over a possible military confrontation involving Iran, the US, and Israel. However, Iran has not officially responded to the latest remarks; it has repeatedly warned of a firm response to any military attack.
