Iran has told Israel through the UN that it will intervene if the country’s operations against Hamas in Gaza continue, a report has claimed.

Israel has warned 1.1 million people living in the north of the enclave to evacuate ahead of an expected ground operation in Gaza with the IDF planning to strike the territory from land, sea and air.

Iran’s involvement could be through a militant group from Syria or by backing Hezbollah to join the conflict, diplomatic sources told Axios.

Meanwhile, Iran’s foreign minister Hossein Amirabdollahian said that Israel’s operations could cause fighting to expand to other areas of the Middle East which would cause Israel to suffer “a huge earthquake”, reported the Associated Press.

      Suddenly nearly all of Europe disappeared I guess. As did the Arab Peninsula, Japan, South-Korea, the Philippines, Taiwan, Hong Kong. Singapore, Australia, New Zealand, Canada? Mexico? Egypt? Sure they’re dicks but guess who sells them weapons?

      I’m sure I’m forgetting a ton of countries but the US hegemony isn’t built on its singular strenght alone, but on alliances. That’s why it’s so damn hard to break.
