Iran’s foreign minster has warned Israel and its ally the United States that the Middle East risks spiralling out of control as a result of Israel’s war on Hamas, AFP reports.

“I warn the US and its proxy (Israel)… that if they do not immediately stop the crime against humanity and genocide in Gaza, anything is possible at any moment and the region will go out of control,” Hossein Amir-Abdollahian said at a joint news conference in Tehran with his South African counterpart Naledi Pandor.
