Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian warned at the United Nations on October 26 that, if Israel's retaliation against Palestinian militants Hamas in the Gaza Strip doesn't end, then the United States will "not be spared from this fire." Amir-Abdollahian made the comment in a speech to a meeting of the 193-member UN General Assembly on the Middle East. He said Iran does not welcome an expansion of the war in the region and stands ready to “play its part” in the humanitarian efforts.
