Why It’s Obvious Iran Approved Hamas’s Attack

Shortly after Hamas’s assault on Israel, The Wall Street Journal, relying on Hamas sources, reported that the Islamic Republic of Iran had green-lit the Oct. 7 attack. U.S. government officials said they don’t have evidence of Iran’s involvement, and Tehran itself claims that Hamas is an independent actor. But American and Israeli intelligence agencies’ lack of evidence isn’t surprising, since they also failed to predict Hamas’s attack. Those who understand the Islamic Republic’s regime find it hard to believe that Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei didn’t give his consent. Copyright ©2023 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.

A Middle East Action Plan for President Biden

Regarding your editorial “Biden Faces an Iran Reckoning” (Oct. 12): I doubt that it was a coincidence that Russia invaded Ukraine and Hamas invaded Israel on President Biden’s watch. Evil dictators sense weakness like rats smell food. That Mr. Biden has been pandering to Iran for almost three years, including fattening its coffers with tens of billions from oil exports, set the table for Iran-funded Hamas to attack Israel. It should have been perfectly clear to the Biden administration that Ayatollah Ali Khamenei had no interest in a nuclear deal, yet it continued to seek one.Copyright ©2023 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.
