Palestinian resistance movements denounce US attack on Iran as a "dangerous escalation"

247 - In strong statements released this Saturday (21), Palestinian resistance movements vehemently condemned the recent US air strike against nuclear facilities in Iran, reports Prensa Latina, which highlighted the reactions of Hamas, Islamic Jihad and the Mujahideen Movement. These groups classified the action as a serious violation of international law and a dangerous step towards escalating conflicts in the Middle East.

In an official statement, Hamas asserted that the bombing carried out by Washington represents “a dangerous escalation, blind obedience to Israel’s agenda, a flagrant violation of international law, and a direct threat to international peace and security.” The group was referring to the attack against three Iranian nuclear sites located in Isfahan, Natanz, and Fordow.

The Hamas statement also directly accuses the White House of acting according to "the law of the jungle," resorting to military force as a method of imposing its hegemony in the region. "The attacks constitute a blatant example of the policy of imposing hegemony through the logic of force," the text emphasized.

The Palestinian organization held both the United States and Israel fully responsible for the consequences that the offensive may generate. "We hold the US government and the Israeli occupation government fully responsible for the serious repercussions of this aggression," Hamas stated, while also expressing solidarity with the Iranian people. "We reaffirm our support for Iran, its leaders, and its people."

Palestinian Islamic Jihad issued a statement in the same vein, calling the attack "a declaration of war against that nation." According to the statement, the incident "demonstrates that the United States government is the greatest enemy of progress in the Middle East."

The organization went further, directly blaming US President Donald Trump for authorizing the offensive. "President Donald Trump's order confirms that Washington is the main supporter of the Zionist regime's terrorist actions against nations in the region," the group stated.

The Mujahideen Movement also strongly condemned the American action, calling it a "violation of Iranian sovereignty." In its official statement, the movement denounced that "the United States and Israel are the main source of terrorism and evil in the world, as well as a real threat to the peace and stability of humanity."

Palestinian reactions reflect growing concern in the Arab and Islamic world about the possibility of a new cycle of violence in the region, should clashes between Washington, Tel Aviv, and Tehran intensify.

The attack comes at a time of heightened international tension, with several countries calling for restraint and dialogue to avoid a conflagration of catastrophic proportions in the Persian Gulf. 

The demonstrations by Palestinian groups add to the chorus of voices demanding respect for national sovereignty and restraint in unilateral military actions, especially when motivated by geopolitical objectives involving strategic alliances and long-term interests. For analysts, the episode reinforces the growing instability in the international arena and the urgency of multilateral diplomatic initiatives to restore balance in the region.
