Iran’s Revolutionary Guards took credit for the Oct. 7 Hamas Massacre, saying it was a response to President Trump’s targeted neutralization of Iran’s terror chief Qassem Soleimani. Hamas denied the claims.
“The Al-Aqsa Flood (the Hamas massacre) was one of the acts of revenge for the assassination of General Soleimani by the U.S. and the Zionists,” Brig. Gen. Ramezan Sharif of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps told Iran’s state-run ISNA news agency.
“Certainly, these acts of revenge will continue in different times and places,” Sharif said, and swore vengeance for Razi Mousavi, the Iranian major general killed in a presumed Israeli airstrike in Syria this week.
