Tehran, which does not recognise Israel, says it gives moral and financial support to the group, which controls the Gaza Strip.
The United States said on Monday that Iran was complicit in Hamas' assault on Israel, but added it had no intelligence or evidence supporting this assertion. The top US general on Monday warned Iran not to get involved in the crisis, saying he did not want the conflict to the broaden.
