United States Secretary of State Antony Blinken discussed the potential role of Iran in the Hamas attack on Israel on Sunday.
"We have not yet seen evidence that Iran directed or was behind this particular attack, but there is certainly a long relationship," U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on CNN's"State of the Union."Blinken said Sunday that none of the $6 billion released to Iran in September for humanitarian use has yet been spent.
Iran has long been a supporter of Hamas, the group designated by the U.S. as a terrorist organization, whose attack on Saturday left at least 250 in Israel dead. Blinken also said the U.S. is working to verify reports that Americans were killed or are missing from the attacks.
