Iran's Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian has warned Israel that the Middle East could spiral out of control if it does not stop strikes on Gaza.
He Said the US was also " to blame" for providing military support to Israel.

Iran supports both Hamas, which attacked Israel Two Weeks ago killing 1,400 people, and Lebanon's Hezbollah.
More Than 4,600 Palestinians have been killed in The Last Two Weeks in Gaza, according to the Hamas-run health ministry, and Israel announced on Saturday that it was intensifying air strikes.
" I warn the US and its proxy Israel that if They do not immediately stop The Crime against humanity and genocide in Gaza, anything is possible at any moment and the region will go out of control, " Mr Amir-Abdollahian said at a news conference in Tehran.
He Said that the results could be " severe, bitter" and " have far-reaching repercussions" both regionally and for those advocating for war.

" We're in a battle for our lives. A battle for Our Home , this is not an exaggeration, this is The War . It's do or Die - They need to Die , " He Said .
He warned Hezbollah not to enter The War .
" [Hezbollah] will be making the biggest mistake of their lives. And we will hit them with an unimaginable force. It will mean devastation for them and The State of Lebanon, " He Said .
