Iran continues the tough talk, now threatening to take “pre-emptive action” against Israel to stop them from a full-scale ground invasion of the Gaza Strip. It’s hard to know what is bravado and what might be real when it comes to the radical Islamic blowhards in Tehran.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nran warned Monday of a possible “pre-emptive action” against Israel “in the coming hours”, as Israel readies for a ground offensive on the Gaza Strip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tehran has repeatedly warned that a ground invasion of the long-blockaded Gaza would be met with a response from other fronts — prompting fears of a wider conflict that could draw in other countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“The possibility of pre-emptive action by the resistance axis is expected in the coming hours,” Iran’s foreign minister, Hossein Amir-Abdollahian said in a live broadcast to state TV, as he referred to his meeting with Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah on Saturday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Earlier Monday, Iran’s top diplomat and president, Ebrahim Raisi had said time was running out to reach a political solution and warned against the expansion of the Israel-Hamas war to other fronts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Amir-Abdollahian said Monday that “the resistance leaders” will not allow Israel “to do whatever it wants in Gaza”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
