BAGHDAD: As the war between Hamas and Israel escalates, Iran has clarified its stance on forming a new war front against Israel. Iran's Foreign Affairs Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian said that the formation of a new front against Israel will depend on Israel's actions in Gaza. Iran reiterated that it had no role in the rocket attack on Israel despite its long-standing support for Hamas.

At the same time, the United States is concerned that the involvement of Hezbollah, an armed Islamist group backed by Iran, could open a new war front on the Israel-Lebanon border. US President Joe Biden has asked Iran to be cautious on the issue. Iran's Foreign Minister said that many countries have approached Israel with the request of forming a new alliance. He stated this in a meeting with Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al Sudani.

Hussain said that Israel is still committing crimes. He arrived in Lebanon on Thursday and will hold talks with the Lebanese authorities today. Hussain was received in Lebanon by Hezbollah and Hamas representatives.
