US responsible for expansion of war in region: Iranian envoy

Tehran, IRNA – Iran’s Ambassador to Lebanon Mojtaba Amani has said that the United States is responsible for the expansion of the Israeli-waged war on Gaza across the region.

In a post on his X account, the Iranian ambassador said on Sunday that the US is complicit in the Zionist regime’s crimes in Gaza as well as the expansion of the war in the region.

Also in his post, Amani mentioned several reasons for holding the US responsible over the spillover of the conflict.  

The dispatch of more than 200 cargos of military equipment to the Tel Aviv regime, using its veto power against UN Security Council resolutions on a Gaza ceasefire coupled with other political and financial assistance to the Israeli regime are some of the reasons showing that the US is responsible for the expansion of the war, the Iranian diplomat said.

As another reason, the US has violated the sovereignty of Yemen, Syria and Iraq, the ambassador said in reference to the airstrikes that Washington conducted in Iraq and Syria on Friday, and the strikes it has jointly carried out with the UK in Yemen over the past three weeks.

The airstrikes in the three Arab countries follow attacks by resistance groups on US and Israeli interests in the region over Washington’s support for the regime in its devastating war against Gaza, which has left more than 27,360 Palestinians dead and tens of thousands of others injured since it began in early October.
