Would Palestinian factions go all the way to pay back Iran
While Iran is the main supporter of the Palestinian resistance factions, how would these factions react to a military confrontation between Iran and the United States?
GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — As Iran is the main party fueling Palestinian resistance factions, questions are being raised regarding the stance of these factions if a military confrontation were to break out between Iran and the United States. What are the chances of such a confrontation leading to a new clash between factions and Israel, which is the key US ally against Iran in the Middle East?
After Iran downed a US drone June 20, the odds of a US-Iran military confrontation peaked.
US President Donald Trump announced June 22 that the US Army was on the verge of executing military strikes against Iran in response to the downing incident, but reconsidered at the last minute.
Since the 1979 Iranian Revolution, Iran has been the key supporter of Palestinian factions, notably Hamas and the Islamic Jihad. It offers them financial and military support, in addition to military expertise to develop their missile capabilities, among others.
