US says Iran is ‘complicit’ in Hamas attacks but says there is no evidence

A White House spokesperson on Monday said that while it has no intelligence or evidence on Iran’s involvement in Hamas’ attacks on Israel, it believes Iran is ‘complicit’.

“Iran has long supported Hamas and other terrorist networks throughout the region with resources capabilities training,” White House national security spokesperson John Kirby said on the US news network, MSNBC.

“And so in that regard, clearly, Iran is complicit here, but in terms of specific evidence on this, these sorts of attacks, no, we don’t have anything,” he said.

Earlier on Monday, National Security advisor Jake Sullivan said the US is working with regional partners to warn anyone who might try to take advantage of the ongoing war in Israel.
