Iran's foreign minister warned that unless Israel's reprisals in Gaza stop, the US "will not escape this fire."

Speaking at the United Nations, Hossein Amirabdolakhian said:

"I say frankly to the American politicians, who are now managing the genocide in Palestine, that we do not welcome an extension of the war in the region. But if the genocide in Gaza continues, they will not escape this fire."

Iran's foreign minister has announced that Hamas is ready to release hostages kidnapped by Israel and that Tehran may play a role in a swap deal.

Hossein Amir-Abdollahian told an emergency session of the UN General Assembly that Iran "is ready to play its part in this very important humanitarian project, together with Qatar and Turkey."

According to the Iranian foreign minister, Hamas has told Iran that it is ready to release the civilian hostages, adding that the world should press for the release of 6,000 Palestinians held in Israeli prisons.
