A pair of delegations from Iran and Hamas have descended on Moscow, where Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s subordinates are huddling with Israel’s enemies as the war in Gaza threatens to expand.
That meeting focused on issues related to their potential to cooperate in the area of ballistic missiles following the expiration of U.N. sanctions on Iran. "The resistance front's shocks against the Zionist regimes will continue until this 'cancerous tumor' is eradicated from the world map,” Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps Rear Adm. Ali Fadavi has said."Another shock wave is on the way if Israel does not end atrocities in Gaza.”
A spokesman for one of Iran’s proxies acknowledged Wednesday that the U.S. military deployments are intended “to deter the axis of resistance,” which he said would not succeed.
