Tehran (ISNA) - Iran's Permanent Mission to UN refuted Western claims that Tehran was involved in the recent large-scale operation of "Al-Aqsa Storm" by the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas against the positions of the Zionist regime.
An expert at the Permanent Mission of the Islamic Republic of Iran to the United Nations, Ali Karimi Magham rejected the claims and said, "The decisions made by the Palestinian resistance are fiercely autonomous and unwaveringly aligned with the legitimate interests of the Palestinian people".
"We emphatically stand in unflinching support of Palestine; however, we are not involved in Palestine's response, as it is taken solely by Palestine itself," he emphasized.
"The resolute measures taken by Palestine constitute a wholly legitimate defense against seven decades of oppressive occupation and heinous crimes committed by the illegitimate Zionist regime," Ali Karimi Magham went on to say.
He made the remarks in a reaction to an article published by the Wall Street Journal alleging that Iran had helped Hamas plan the October 7 attack on Israel and green-lighted it at a meeting in Beirut on October 2.
