An American official announced today, Wednesday, that Iran was likely aware that Hamas planned to carry out "operations against Israel," but Washington currently has no information indicating that Tehran directed or orchestrated the devastating attack launched by Hamas fighters. The official, who requested anonymity, stated that the United States will review additional intelligence, including "whether there are at least some within their regime who have either a clearer view of what is coming or even contributed to aspects of the planning." The official added to "Reuters" that it is too early to draw any definitive conclusions.
