Iran’s foreign ministry spokesman, Nasser Kanani, has told reporters that claims that Iran had a role in Hamas’ assault on Israel were not true.
“The accusations linked to an Iranian role… are based on political reasons,” he said.
Palestinians had “the necessary capacity and will to defend their nation and recover their rights” without any help from Tehran, Kanani added.
Yesterday evening, the Wall Street Journal reported that Iran helped Hamas plan its surprise attacks in August.
