Netanyahu ‘at end of his criminal political life,’ Amir Abdollahian says

TEHRAN- Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir Abdollahian has noted that the political life of the Israeli regime’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is on the verge of a huge collapse.

He made the remarks in an X post on Tuesday after the White House vowed a “very consequential response” to a deadly drone attack on a U.S. occupation base on Jordan’s border with Syria. 

Amir Abdollahian went on to add that “the U.S. officials can fully understand that the Israeli onslaught on Gaza as well as crisis gripping West Asia should have only a political solution."

Iran’s top diplomat pointed out, “Benjamin Netanyahu is at the end of his criminal political life.”

“The White House knows very well that the solution to ending the war and genocide in Gaza and the current crisis in the region is political. Diplomacy is active in this path,” he noted. 

The Palestinian Hamas resistance movement carried out on October 7 a historic operation against the occupying regime in retaliation for its increased atrocities against the Palestinian people. Israel initiated the genocidal war on besieged Gaza afterward. 

Overwhelmed with pressure to step down over his botched-up plans for the Gaza Strip, Netanyahu is stuck in a limbo to secure the release of the remaining Israeli captives held in the Palestinian territory.

The U.S.-backed incursion into Gaza by the Israeli regime has left at least 26,637 Palestinians dead, mostly women and children, and 65,387 others injured. 

The support for the Gaza carnage has spurred reactions from resistance groups in different countries across West Asiam which, launched a military campaign against bases housing U.S. occupation forces.

On Sunday, the Islamic resistance in Iraq carried out a drone strike on a military outpost in Jordan, known as Tower 22, killing three U.S. service members and injuring dozens.

Blaming Iran as the so-called culprit of the attack, the U.S. President Joe Biden vowed harsh revenge. 

In a statement on the late Sunday, Iran’s mission to the United Nations noted that Tehran is not embroiled in the drone attack on the U.S. troops stationed in Jordan.

It underlined that the incident was part of the “conflict between the army of the United States of America and resistance groups in the region, which reciprocate retaliatory attacks.”

Since the start of Israel’s onslaught on the Gaza Strip on October 7, there have been around 160 attacks on U.S. forces in Iraq and Syria. The responsibilty for most of those attacks have been claimed by regional resistance forces.

Iranian officials have frequently said resistance groups act on their own in response to Israeli crimes in Gaza.
