Iran warns Israel to stop war in Gaza or region will "go out of control".

 Iran warns Israel to stop war in Gaza or region will 'go out of control' - BBC News

Iran's foreign minister, Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, has warned Israel and the United States that if Israel continues its attacks on Gaza, the Middle East situation could get out of hand. According to him, the ongoing struggle in Gaza is "a proxy war waged by Israel on behalf of the United States," and US military assistance to Israel is proof of this. Iran backs Hezbollah in Lebanon and Hamas in Gaza, which recently assaulted Israel.

On the other hand, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu cautioned that the war was not being overstated and that his country was engaged in a "do or die" conflict with Hamas. Hezbollah was also forewarned by him not to join the conflict because doing so would devastate both their organization and the nation of Lebanon. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin warned of the possibility of "significant escalation of attacks" against US soldiers or citizens as the US has also raised fears about the violence expanding. According to Amir-Abdollahian, if the war's scope widens, America will likewise suffer large losses. This was reported by Iranian official media.
