Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said on Tuesday that Tehran was not involved in the major Hamas attack on Israel over the weekend that killed hundreds. However, he praised the assault, saying it caused irreparable damage to Israel's military and intelligence capabilities. Israel has long accused Iran of supporting Hamas, which Tehran denies beyond moral and financial backing. Khamenei's comments come as Israel continues heavy airstrikes on Gaza after regaining control of the border area. The U.S. has also warned Iran not to get drawn into the escalating crisis between Israel and Hamas.
