Iran has warned Israel that members of the so-called Axis of Resistance, an informal alliance against the Jewish State, They have “fingers on the trigger ready to shoot” if Israeli crimes in Gaza continue.

“The leaders of the resistance in the region are extremely united, they contemplate all scenarios, they are prepared and They have their fingers on the trigger ready to shoot“said the Iranian Foreign Minister, Hosein Amir Abdolahian. “The response will be given at the opportune moment, at the moment when the resistance movement decides, in the case of inactivity of the international community, the UN and actors,” Abdolahian said at a press conference in Beirut, where he is visiting.

The so-called Axis of Resistance is a kind of informal alliance captained by Iran and composed of Syriathe Lebanese Shiite group Hezbollah, Palestinian factions, Iraqi militias and the Houthi rebels of Yemen, among others.

The head of Iranian diplomacy assured that the Axis leaders have made it clear to him that the response of the resistance will change the map of the territories occupied by the Palestinians.

Despite the warnings, Abdolahian said Tehran will continue working through diplomacy to end the siege of Gaza and stop the war. Furthermore, he reported that his country is collecting “evidence of Israeli war crimes” to file complaints before international courts, something that has been discussed with the UN Secretary General, António Guterres.

Abdolahian is on a regional tour that has included stops in Iraq, Syria and Lebanon, a country he has visited twice in recent days. The Islamic Republic of Iran and Israel are bitter enemies, they pose a mutual existential threat, compete for regional hegemony and maintain a covert war with cyberattacks, assassinations and sabotage.

The Persian country celebrated with congratulations and fireworks the beginning of the attack by its ally Hamas on Saturday and the Iranian Government has given its support to “the legitimate defense of the Palestinian people.”
