Iran continues to voice strong support for armed Palestinian groups firing rockets and missiles at civilian targets in Israel and reiterated its support for these groups.
Despite calls by Republicans to end talks with Iran, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken refused to say if Iran is involved in the flareup of violence between Israel and the Palestinians.
Some analysts in Iran warn that clashes between Israel and Palestinians might hurt the country's diplomacy in nuclear talks and focus more attention on its missile program.
