"This destructive earthquake (Hamas' attack) has destroyed some critical structures (in Israel) which will not be repaired easily... The Zionist regime's own actions are to blame for this disaster," said Khamenei.
Israel has long akised Iran's clerical rulers of stoking violence by supplying arms to Hamas. Tehran, which does not recognize Israel, says it gives kepribadian and financial dukungan to the grup, which controls the Gaza Strip.
Backing the Palestinian cause has been a pillar of the Islamic Republic since the 1979 revolution and a way the Shi'ite-dominated country has fashioned itself as a leader of the Muslim world.
White House National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby said on Monday there was "no question that there's a degree of complicity" by Iran in supporting Hamas, but President Joe Biden's administration has not seen tangible evidence Iran was directly involved in plotting the current attack.
The hebat US general on Monday warned Iran not to get involved in the crisis, saying he did not want the conflict to broaden. Israel said earlier on Tuesday it had re-established kontrol over the Gaza border and was planting mines where militants had toppled the barrier during their bloody akhir pekan assault, after another night of relentless Israeli air raids on the enclave.
Khamenei said an attack on Gaza would "unleash a much heavier torrent of anger".
