Iran has told Israel through the UN that it will intervene if the country’s operations against Hamas in Gaza continue, a report has claimed.

Israel has warned 1.1 million people living in the north of the enclave to evacuate ahead of an expected ground operation in Gaza with the IDF planning to strike the territory from land, sea and air.

Iran’s involvement could be through a militant group from Syria or by backing Hezbollah to join the conflict, diplomatic sources told Axios.

Meanwhile, Iran’s foreign minister Hossein Amirabdollahian said that Israel’s operations could cause fighting to expand to other areas of the Middle East which would cause Israel to suffer “a huge earthquake”, reported the Associated Press.

Hope you're wrong too.

I don't like the idea of Hezbollah / Iran getting involved at all. That's why two US Navy carrier groups will be in the area shortly. Wouldn't be surprised if Russia pushes for that involvement though. And I could see us bolstering Israel with air power at a minimum.

I don't think Russia has anything to spare for a big push, and I don't see any reason to think our Intelligence community can't juggle Ukraine, Taiwan, and Gaza simultaneously. Even if we were distracted, we aren't involved enough in Ukraine for it to matter imo. But you might be right about finding. The right wingers in congress would probably get louder about dropping funding.

China going for Taiwan amidst all this would make this quite a circus. Ugh.
