After violence erupted in Israel, some were quick to point fingers at one of the Palestinian militant group’s longtime allies.U.S. and Israeli officials say they remain unsure whether Iran was definitively involved in Hamas’ surprise weekend attack on Israel, which has spiraled into one of the region’s worst spells of violence in decades.
Underscored in comments from Israeli and American officials is the lack of intelligence regarding the possibility of Tehran’s involvement to conclusively link it to Hamas. Iran, for its part, has given a full-throated endorsement of Hamas’ attack, and a spokesperson has insisted that the country has not been involved.
Looming large over Iran in the region before the weekend attack was an American-driven effort for Saudi Arabia and Israel to reach a peace deal.
