John Kirby Says Iran Has a Degree of Complicity in Hamas Israel Attack | VOA News

VOA Ukrainian Service spoke Tuesday to John Kirby, National Security Council coordinator for strategic communications, shortly before President Joe Biden addressed the nation in a televised address.

Kirby said, "Iran has a degree of complicity here. They've been supporting Hamas for many years: training, tools, weapons, capabilities."

Biden said Tuesday that "we have Israel's back," as Washington attempts to defuse tensions in the Middle East after a stunning terrorist attack by Hamas militants. More than 1,000 people, including at least 14 Americans, have been killed by Hamas militants who stormed over the border Saturday, killing and kidnapping civilians and security forces.
