TEHRAN – American commanders have reportedly taken over the command of Israeli operations against the Gaza Strip given the deep-running confusion among Israeli military echelons. 

Citing sources in the occupied territories of Palestine who are familiar with the matter, Tasnim News said, “Considering the mental and psychological disorder of most of the Israeli military commanders, some American commanders have taken over the leadership of ‘some of their operations’ since the beginning of the Zionist attacks against the Palestinian citizens in Gaza.”

The American commanders, Tasnim said, are working hand in glove with their Israeli peers. 

“The extreme psychological pressure caused by the extraordinary operations of the Palestinian resistance (the Al-Aqsa Storm) and the unprecedented losses inflicted on the Israelis have caused this psychological and mental confusion in such a way that many Israeli commanders are unable to make decisions,” the sources said. 

According to the Tasnim report, operations leading to the massacre of Gaza citizens are also carried out jointly by America and Israel.

Some of these American commanders participating in the attacks are advising their Israeli comrades to refrain from entering Gaza by land because the possibility of a heavier blow is very high and this battle is not considered a right risk.

This warning has come from the highest political echelons of Washington. In an interview with CBS news program 60 Minutes, U.S. President Joe Biden warned that occupying the Gaza Strip would be a “big mistake.”

60 Minutes journalist Scott Pelley also asked Biden if he could foresee U.S. troops joining the war.

"I don't think that's necessary," Biden, replied. 

Israel has come under global fire for its aggression against the besieged Gaza Strip that resulted in the killing of a child every 15 minutes. Civilians in the enclave continue to be killed as Israel prepares to launch a ground operation in the Gaza Strip. 

As the war rages on, huge diplomatic efforts are underway in the West Asia region. Iranian high-level officials have taken part in these efforts. 

Iran has also warned of a broader regional escalation if Israel launched a ground offensive. In his recent phone call with French President Emmanuel Macron, Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi said Israel is committing “war crimes” by cutting off water, electricity, fuel, food, and medicine to the people of Gaza, as well as blindly and extensively bombarding non-military targets by even using phosphorus bombs.

The president emphasized the urgent need to end the bombing of residential areas and said that forced displacement of Gaza residents from their homeland is neither practical nor compatible with international principles and laws.

Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir Abdollahian also warned that a broader escalation in the region is possible if Israel pressed ahead with its geocidal operation against the Gaza Strip. 

Amir Abdollahian issued the warning in an interview with the Arabic section of the Al Jazeera network.

“If the Zionist entity decides to enter Gaza, the resistance leaders will turn it into a cemetery for its soldiers,” Amir Abdollahian said, adding that the continuation of Israeli aggression against Gaza would expand the war fronts across the whole region.

The senior Iranian diplomat expressed hope for diplomatic initiatives to resolve the situation but issued a warning that Tehran would not remain silent if the Israeli regime continued its cruelty against Gazans.
