Evidence of Direct Involvement in the Israel-Hamas War; Israel Hayom: The Islamic Republic Sent Five Tons of Weapons to Syria

Israel Hayom reported: "A day before Hassan Nasrallah, the Secretary General of Hezbollah, spoke, an Iranian Mahan Air plane flew from Mehrabad Airport in Tehran to Latakia Airport, which is only operated by the Russian Air Force in its military section." According to this report, an Airbus A340 aircraft reportedly carried about five tons of weapons. Based on the testimony of an employee at Mehrabad Airport, the number of weapon pallets this time was less than previous shipments from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. These pallets were loaded onto the plane with the accompaniment of guards and transferred into the aircraft at the ramp used for jumbo jets. One hypothesis is that this shipment includes shoulder-fired missiles. On October 21, Israel bombed the runways of Damascus and Aleppo airports to prevent further weapon shipments via Mahan Air from Iran. The Iranian Foreign Minister warned on Friday, October 27, during a meeting with the UN Secretary-General about the "possibility of expanding the scope of the war and opening new fronts in the region" against Israel. Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, in his meeting with Antonio Guterres in New York, without mentioning the deaths of more than 1,400 people following Hamas's attack on Israel, most of whom were civilians, stated: "Iran supports any political solution that leads to an immediate cessation of crimes against humanity and genocide in Gaza, continuous humanitarian aid, and addressing the forced displacement of the people of Gaza." The leader and officials of the Islamic Republic have not yet criticized the killing of Israeli civilians following the Hamas attack and the taking hostage of more than 220 individuals by the militants of this group they support. Hossein Amir-Abdollahian had previously stated: "The situation in the West Asia region has reached a worrying point, and there is a constant possibility of losing control by all parties."
