A Reuters report itemizes Iran’s funding to Hamas, which is acknowledged by the Biden administration. Yet the administration denies
Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh, said in an interview with Al Jazeera television last year that his group had received $70 million in military help from Iran. “We have rockets that are locally manufactured but the long-range rockets came from abroad, from Iran, Syria and others through Egypt,” he added.
According to a U.S. State Department report from 2020, Iran provides about $100 million annually to Palestinian groups, including Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine-General Command.
The funding is necessary to execute any plan. Iran’s involvement couldn’t be any plainer, except maybe to the Biden administration. Paying people and prodding them to commit mass murder is direct involvement. Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi published a transcript of his own conversations with Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad leaders, in which he not only congratulated the jihad groups for the attacks, but also encouraged “Hamas to continue its campaign until the destruction of Israel is achieved.”
The Middle East Media Research Institute further states that Iran “hastened to congratulate the ‘Palestinian resistance organization’ Hamas – which belongs to Iran’s Islamic resistance axis – for its massive October 7, 2023 attack on Israel, as well as to express pride in the organization and exhort it to continue.”
Iran’s foreign minister Hossein Amirabdollahian also warned that “an Israeli ground offensive in Gaza would force Iran to intervene, likely expanding the war to other parts of the Middle East,” although Iran has walked that back. Iran is trying to back Israel into a corner and force it to stop defending itself. The global threat is Islamic jihad, not Israel. Earlier in the week, Abu Hussein al-Hamidawi, head of the Iranian-backed Kataib Hezbollah militia in Iraq, threatened to attack U.S. military bases should America intervene in the war. Iran-backed Yemeni militias have also “threatened to target U.S. interests with missiles and drones if Washington intervenes to support Israel.”
Although America has made its backing of Israel clear, its reluctance to name Iran as instigator, with direct links to the attacks, is peculiar. Let’s hope the Biden administration does not employ its habitual appeasement of Iran as a stalling strategy.
“Iran’s Political And Military Leadership Encourages Hamas To Continue Fighting Until It Achieves The Iran-Hamas Resistance’s Objective – The Destruction Of Israel,” MEMRI, October 15, 2023:
Introduction
Iranian regime officials, headed by Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, along with the commanders of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) and Armed Forces and regime mouthpieces, hastened to congratulate the “Palestinian resistance organization” Hamas – which belongs to Iran’s Islamic resistance axis – for its massive October 7, 2023 attack on Israel, as well as to express pride in the organization and exhort it to continue.
Regime spokesmen said that “the courageous deeds of the Palestinians” in what Hamas is calling Operation “Al-Aqsa Flood” are justified because of Israel’s “cruel crimes” against the Palestinians since its establishment. Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei stressed that “this cruel regime [Israel] took no pity on the Palestinian men and women, children or the elderly; it did not protect the sanctity of the Al-Aqsa mosque; it inflamed the [Jewish] settlers against the Palestinians like raging dogs; and it trampled the [Muslim] worshipers under its feet. Therefore, what must a nation do against all this cruelty and all these crimes?” Noting that Israel is “an oppressor [and] an aggressor”, he added that “no one can present this monster [Israel] as oppressed.” He went on to call on the Muslim countries to join with Hamas and Iran in continuing on the path of resistance.
Celebrating the massacre and the victory of the Islamic resistance via the Palestinians, Iranian officials rejoiced in how it surprised Israel and humiliated its army and political leadership, justified the scope of the destruction, and predicted that the aim of Iran’s revolutionary regime – the destruction of Israel – was near at hand.
Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi published a transcript of his conversations with the leaders of the Palestinian resistance – Hamas political bureau head Isma’il Haniya and Palestinian Islamic Jihad leader Ziyad Nakhalah – who are emissaries of the Iranian regime. In the conversations with both, he praised them for their strategic victory over Israel.
This report will review statements by Iranian officials and Palestinian resistance officials praising the Hamas attack on Israel and encouraging Hamas to continue its campaign until the destruction of Israel is achieved.
Supreme Leader Khamenei: “The Palestinians’ Courageous Act And Martyrdom Were A Response To The Crimes Of The [Israeli] Enemy That Have Gone On For Years”
At the conclusion of an October 10, 2023 ceremony of armed forces officers, Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei stated: “In these days, an important political and military issue has attracted the world’s attention, and it is the unprecedented events in dear Palestine… To our great joy, senior [regime] officials have taken correct and positive positions [in this matter]. I would like to point out a few things to you and to our brothers in the Islamic states:
“The first point is the same issue that arises in various analyses in the past two or three days is that since October 7, 2023, the plundering Zionist regime has suffered an irreversible military and intelligence failure. Everyone is referring to ‘failure.’ My emphasis is on the ‘irreversible.’ I say that this destructive earthquake has succeeded in destroying the regime of the plundering regime from its main foundations, and it is not so easily rebuilt. It is not reasonable for the plundering Zionist regime to manage to rehabilitate the same foundations, despite all the noise it is making and all the support it is getting today from the West. I want to say that since Saturday of October 7, 2023, the Zionist regime is no longer the Zionist regime it was, and it is not possible to easily compensate for the blow it has received.
“The second point, which in my view is very important, is that this disaster was caused by the deeds of the Zionists themselves. When cruelty and crime cross the boundary, one must wait for the storm. What have you done to the Palestinian people? The Palestinians’ courageous acts and martyrdom were a response to the crimes of the [Israeli] enemy that have gone on for years, that escalated in intensity in recent months. The current government of the Zionist regime is to blame. In the history of the world… no Islamic nation has dealt with an enemy like the one with whom the Palestinians are dealing today. The Islamic nations and countries have never dealt with such an enemy, so audacious and so cruel……

Hamas are failed Nazis. They enjoy torturing Jews when they can but hate getting bombed just like Germans in their cities did in 1945. They like burning Jews just like Nazis did in the Death Camps. But they hate when allied troops enter and make convicts of any Nazis remaining in the Camps. Hamas is an Arabic speaking Nazi. Just like Nazis and Hitler does Hamas blame all their problems on Jews. And then to solve these “problems” they simply torture and murder the Jews. Oh, but first they rob them of all their wealth, homes, land, etc. But now just as the Nazis did , they are facing their doom. But I bet many Hamas bigwigs, just like their Nazi heroes, have fled the coop and arranged to go to some Arab country.

“GET OUT,This is the ‘Death to Israel Room” Go nest door to the “Death to Sunnis,Ahmadi and Sufis” Room
somehistory says
iran roots for hamas, encourages hamas, and denies that they had anything to do with the murderous attack.
Training, funding, encouragement, planning….and ghoulish in their desire for hamas to keep going until they have completely destroyed Israel and murdered every Jew.
This denial keeps them from having to send in iranian ghouls to do some of the slaughtering, but anyone who has a brain, knows that iran is lying.
If hamas actually destroyed Israel and murdered every Jew, iran would take the credit.

That above picture of those two sons of the Devil ,Ismail Haniyeh and Ebrahim Rasis , standing there and joining their hands together is a blatant and clear reminder that the Bible in Proverbs 11:21 which informs its reader that “Though hand join in hand,the wicked shall not be unpunished.” [K..J. V.]
Walter Sieruk says
Rasis and Khamenei with their sinister insidious support for that Islamic terror /murder entity, hamas , was truly horrendous villains of the most despicable and fiendish sort.
Their aggressive and hostile and sinister Islamic regime of Iran supports and funds Hamas to engage in terrorist jihad attacks to murder Israeli citizens. The officials of the State of Israel comprehend this then strike back, for brute force is the only language that the jihadists are able to understand. Just like a common criminal, the Iran’s Muslim tyrants refuse to accept that they are the ones that cause Israel to strike back. Therefore, that “mullah tyranny” launches further terrors strike against Israel for “revenge.” Even though they stated it all.
Iran’s mullah president Rouhani along with Ayatollah Ali Khamenei with their despicable words with his brainwash and then get the Iranian people all worked up until they chant, over and over again, “Death to Israel.”
Ayatollah Khamenei is so ignorant that he neither knows nor understand that that all his Muslim stooge terror organization Hamas are fated to fail in their Islamic agenda of destroying the State of Israel and replacing with Islamic “state.” The reason that they will lose in the end and lose hard is because the members of Hamas are striving against the Will of God.
The members of Hamas might be too ignorant to know this; nevertheless, the truth is the God had given all land that now composes the State of Israel, including all of the West Bank, to the Jewish people. This may be found in the Bible, as seen in, for example, Genesis 28:13-15. 35:10-12. Deuteronomy 32:48,49. Psalm 105:7-11. 135:4. In other words the Jews have all this land by Divine Right.
Furthermore, the Jewish people should have this land by historic rights as shown in First Kings 4:20,21, 24,25. 8:55, 56.
Still, in all fairness, there is one way for Khamenei and Iran’s Revolutionary Guards along with the Muslim members Hamas to convince God to change His Mind about being so much for Israel and then cause Him to turn His back on Israel and then have that nation be no more.
That way is for President Rasis of Iran to gather the members of the jihad organizations ,including Hamas, and then change the laws of astrophysics, including those laws of astrophysics the control the sun, the moon and the stars. For God had declared in His Word, the Bible, in Jeremiah 31:35,36. “Thus saith the Lord, Who gives the sun for a light by day and the ordinances of the moon and stars for a light by night…The Lord of host is His name. If those ordinances depart from before Me, saith the Lord, then the seed of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before Me forever.”
Peter Carroll says
Hamas has been controlled from outside Gaza for over twenty years, at least. Initially it was from Syria, now it is Iran that is providing not only money and weapons, but overall control as well.
Ismail Haniyeh is only a puppet of Iran, a figurehead. Hamas ‘fighters’ are simply cannon fodder for Iran’s proxy assault on Israel, expendable, useful idiots. No Muslim nation on earth actually cares anything, for the, self proclaimed, Palestinians.
