GAZA, March 1 (Xinhua) -- Hamas on Sunday condemned the "blatant aggression and heinous crime" by Israel and the United States against Iran, and mourned the death of Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.
In a press statement, Hamas warned the attacks would only "fuel further crises and conflicts that serve only Israeli agendas of expansion and hegemony."
The group mourned Khamenei, saying the Iranian leader "demonstrated all forms of political, diplomatic, popular, and military support for the Palestinian people, their cause and their resistance."
The United States and Israel launched massive attacks on Iran on Saturday, prompting retaliatory strikes by Iran against Israeli and U.S. targets across the Middle East.
Tehran confirmed Sunday that Khamenei was killed in Saturday's U.S.-Israel attacks. ■
