Hamas: Iran represents ‘advanced line of defense for entire Islamic nation’

The spokesperson for the armed wing of Hamas, known as al-Qassam Brigades, has said that Iran is “an advanced line of defense for the entire Islamic nation.”

In a statement on sunday Abu Obeida stated that aggressors “cannot break the will of the fee people of Iran.”

“We view with immense pride the powerful rocket strikes carried out by the Islamic Revolution Guard Corps, targeting areas deep within the criminal enemy entity using new tactics, which left dozens killed and wounded,” he said.

This is a natural response, not only to the Zionist-American aggression against Iran but also to the massacres of genocide against Palestinian people in Gaza, which has left 71,000 people dead, and 172,000 wounded, he stated.

“This Nazi-Zionist enemy understands only the language of force and responding to a blow with two, and making it pay a heavy price is what will force it to stop its aggression,” he said.

Abu Obeida added that “Without that, it will continue its rampages and target our Arab and Islamic nations one after another.”

He called for the Islamic nations to stand united against the Israeli-US aggressors and to work together for the fundamental causes of Islam, foremost among them the liberation of Palestine.

The US and Israel started a fresh round of airstrikes on Iran on February 28, some eight months after they waged a war of aggression against the country.

Iran began to swiftly retaliate by launching barrages of missile and drone attacks on the Israeli-occupied territories as well as on US bases and interests in regional countries.
