Germany, France, UK discuss Iran in joint call

Hamas said on Friday that Iran was "paying the price" for supporting Palestinian resistance groups, following Israel’s large-scale strikes on Iranian military and nuclear sites.

In a statement, the Palestinian Islamist group praised Iran’s longstanding financial and military support, calling the attacks a response to Tehran’s steadfast backing of the Palestinian cause.

Hamas armed wing spokesperson Abu Ubaida said the group stood by Iran, warning that Israel's actions would only hasten its "inevitable demise."

Citing a security source, Iran's Fars news agency, affiliated with the Revolutionary Guards,denied Israeli reports that Tehran has launched drones towards Israel on Friday, adding that Iran's revenge "will take place in the near future".

The Israeli military said earlier in the day that its air force and navy intercepted drones launched from Iran.

Al Hadath, citing a source close to Hezbollah, reported that the group does not plan to initiate an attack on Israel following the strikes on Iran.

Al Arabiya said Hezbollah issued a statement condemning the attack and offering condolences, without indicating any further steps.

At least 78 people were killed and 329 injured in Israeli strikes on military and residential areas of Tehran province, according to unofficial figures reported by Iranian media on Friday.

The report has not been confirmed by Iranian authorities.

Iran’s Ministry of Communications said Friday that temporary internet restrictions have been implemented across the country due to the current “special circumstances” and on the orders of relevant authorities. The ministry added that the limitations will be lifted once the situation returns to normal.
