The Wall Street Journal reported that Iranian security officials assisted Hamas in planning last Saturday's deadly surprise assault on Israel. Citing Hamas and Hezbollah members, the report said Iran's Revolutionary Guards worked with Hamas since August for the air, land and sea attacks greenlit in a Beirut meeting. The US has not directly implicated Iran yet. Hamas publicly states it independently decided the actions. However, the WSJ account aligns with Israeli claims of an Iran link. While Iran affirms support for Gaza, it denies directing the attacks.
