Iran will not allow Israel to defeat Hamas in the Gaza Strip, the head of Iran’s expeditionary Quds Force says in a message to the commander of the Islamic terror outfit Hamas military wing.

Gen. Esmail Ghaani’s letter was addressed to Mohammed Deif, the shadowy leader of the Hamas military wing in Gaza, and was published by Iran’s state news agency IRNA.

Ghaani says Iran, “will carry out all our duties in this historic battle” and will not allow Israel to “reach its dirty goals” of defeating Hamas.

He also praises Hamas’s October 7 terror attack, saying it showed Israel was “weaker than a spider’s web.” Israel retaliated with “unprecedented brutal war crimes” against civilians, he added.
