Iran’s FM: possible preemptive measures against ‘Israel’ could be taken in coming hours

TEHRAN, Oct. 17 (YPA) – Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir Abdollahian stated that a preemptive strike against ‘Israel’ is still a possibility in the coming hours,  The Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA) reported.

The top diplomat made the remarks in a televised interview on Monday following a regional tour that took him to Iraq, Lebanon, Syria, and Qatar.

“During my regional trip and meetings that I had with leaders of the resistance front, they believed that an opportunity should be given to political solutions” to end ‘Israel’s’ brutal strikes against the fully blockaded Gaza Strip.

“However, in the event that the ‘Israeli’ regime’s war crimes against civilians continue, any possibility is likely,” he noted.
