“There is no evidence that iran helped plan, fund, arm, or coordinate the attacks on Israel.”


Verbatim quote from Kirby heard just now on NPR.

He also reiterated that the $6B for iran will only be used for food, medicine, and other humanitarian needs.

Also, we didn't look for evidence that Iran helped Hamas with the attack on Israel. - Biden Admin.

So why is Iran/Qatar siding with Hamas/Palestine? Didn’t Iran claim on social media participation in the attack? Iirc.

He left out the part about how Iran can use that 6 billion as collateral and borrow money from their buddies running the banks in Qatar.

From the same people who brought us “January 6 was an insurrection”, “Covid came from a wet market”, and “Muh Russia.”


Easiest way to get us to believe Iran had nothing to do with it? Have this administration claim it was fact.

I dont believe him.


Because...

quote:

After playing a key role in the group’s military development for years and navigating deep ideological rifts, Tehran has renewed its extensive sponsorship in ways that contributed directly to the recent bloodshed in Gaza.


quote:

On May 21, Hamas political bureau chief Ismail Haniyeh praised Iran for enabling this intense bombardment, noting that Tehran “did not hold back with money, weapons, and technical support.” Five days earlier, while the fighting was still in full swing, the Iranian pro-regime outlet Tasnim News reported a phone call in which Esmail Qaani, head of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps-Qods Force (IRGC-QF), spoke with Haniyeh and lauded Hamas’s actions.



quote:

fter emerging in the 1980s as a Sunni jihadist offshoot of Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas drafted a formal charter that enshrined the goals of destroying Israel and fighting “the warmongering Jews.” The group later began developing high-level contacts with Iran when the Islamic Republic convened two conferences on Palestine in 1990-1991. Attended by Hamas delegates, this forum became a counterweight to the ongoing Arab-Israeli peace process and the 1991 Madrid conference.



so they have been throwing support hamas' way for decades up until 2022, but not now.



quote:

Around this time, the group gained prominence by participating in the Palestinian intifada against Israel, prompting Yitzhak Rabin’s government to deport 418 leading Hamas figures to Lebanon in 1992. The IRGC and Hezbollah (created by Iran the previous decade to resist the Israeli occupation of southern Lebanon) hosted the Hamas deportees and taught them how to build and use suicide bombs, a tactic pioneered by Hezbollah. When Rabin permitted the deportees to return, Hamas and other Gaza-based groups quickly began conducting suicide bombings against Israel, while Iran began sending the group up to $50 million annually.

We all believe that Iran aided Hamas., but so far, no direct evidence has been produced. And
The money remains frozen in So. Korea.

I was led to believe the funds were transferred to Qatar. Is that not the case ?

So Iran did not provide the resources to Hamas...did some intelligence factions within Israel provide the resources?
