Iran: Oct. 7 attack was revenge for killing of Soleimani in 2020; Hamas: No it wasn’t
Translation: Hamas loudly denies being Iranian sockpuppet even though Iranian hand can be seen underneath.
[IsraelTimes] Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said Wednesday that the Hamas terror group’s devastating attack on Israel was in revenge for the 2020 assassination of IRGC Quds Force head Qassem Soleimani in a US drone strike.

IRGC front man Ramazan Sharif tied the October 7 massacres to Soleimani in remarks he made about the killing of another top officer earlier this week in an Arclight airstrike
...KABOOM!...
Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
has blamed on Israel. Brig. Gen. Razi Mousavi, who was close to Soleimani, was killed in a strike on his home in Damascus on Monday.

He also said the IRGC is "well aware" of the reasons Israel killed Mousavi in Damascus but asserted that the liquidation would not hinder its campaign "against the Zionist entity."

"We will respond accordingly, directly or indirectly through the resistance axis," he threatened.

However,
a woman is only as old as she admits...
Hamas
...a regional Iranian catspaw,...
swiftly denied the Iranian claim and reiterated that it attacked Israel over what it described as "the dangers threatening the al-Aqsa Mosque," referring to the key Islamic site on the Temple Mount in the Old City of Jerusalem.

In a statement, the terror group said that "all Paleostinian resistance actions" are a response to what it called the "occupation and its ongoing aggression against our people and the holy places."

On the day of the attack, which Hamas dubbed ""Operation al-Aqsa Deluge," the terror group’s military commander Muhammad Deif said in a recorded message it was launched in retaliation for Israel’s "desecration" of the al-Aqsa Mosque and was a follow-up of previous warnings by the group.

While Israel’s military does not, as a rule, comment on specific strikes in Syria, it has admitted to conducting hundreds of sorties against Iran-backed terror groups attempting to gain a foothold in the country, over the last decade.

Israel has accused Iran of being a key force behind the coordinated Hamas attack on Israel, in which the terror group succeeded in blasting through the high-tech Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
border fence to carry out its devastating assault on nearby communities.

The Wall Street Journal reported in October that some 500 member of Hamas and the allied terror group Paleostinian Islamic Jihad
...created after many members of the Egyptian Moslem Brotherhood decided the organization was becoming too moderate. Operations were conducted out of Egypt until 1981 when the group was exiled after the assassination of President Anwar Sadat. They worked out of Gaza until they were exiled to Lebanon in 1987, where they clove tightly to Hezbollah. In 1989 they moved to Damascus, where they remain a subsidiary of Hezbollah...
trained in Iran ahead of the assault on Israel.

A US airstrike killed Soleimani in Iraq in January 2020. Tehran responded to the killing of Soleimani by launching a barrage of missiles at US bases in Iraq, causing dozens of brain concussion injuries but no deaths among US soldiers stationed there.

But Iranian officials have repeatedly vowed to take further steps and imposed sanctions on individuals accused of taking part in the liquidation operation.

Soleimani, who led the elite Quds Force of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard, was credited with helping to arm, train, and lead gangs across the region, including the Shiite militias in Iraq, fighters in Syria and Yemen
...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of...
, the Lebanese Hezbollah terror group, and terror groups in the West Bank and Gaza.

The US held him responsible for the deaths of many of its soldiers in Iraq. He is hailed as a national icon among supporters of Iran’s theocracy.

#2 There will be a point next year where all the punks in Iran come to the understanding that Americans intend to put Trump back in office. I remember that point in 1980.
