President Biden faced heavy criticism from conservatives on social media for not mentioning Iran, a state sponsor of Hamas, in his recent address to the nation regarding the terrorist group’s attack on Israel. The attack resulted in the deaths of over 1,000 Israelis, including women, children, and babies. Speaking from the White House, Biden, flanked by Vice President Harris and Secretary of State Antony Blinken, vowed the U.S. support for Israel and its preparations for a ground invasion of the Gaza Strip in response to the aggression.
Conservatives took to social media, particularly X (formerly Twitter), to express their disappointment with Biden’s speech. Many criticized him for not mentioning Iran, despite its role as a state sponsor of Hamas. Some accused Biden of being irresponsible and weak in his response to the attack. Others highlighted the absence of a strategy to save the Americans taken hostage during the attack.
The lack of mention of Iran in Biden’s remarks drew significant backlash from Republican politicians, media contributors, and social media users. They argued that terrorism against Israel cannot be disconnected from Iran’s actions and emphasized the need to address Iran’s involvement in the attack.
The White House has not yet responded to requests for comment on the issue. While U.S. officials say they have not seen evidence of Iran’s direct involvement in the attack, European officials and leaders of Hamas and Hezbollah claim that Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps collaborated with Hamas on attack plans.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken stated that there is a long-standing relationship between Iran and Hamas, although there is no confirmation of Iran’s direct role in planning or directing the attack. Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, in his first broadcast remarks since the attacks, denied Iran’s involvement but expressed support for those who planned the attack.
National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan acknowledged Iran’s complicity in terms of financial and material support to Hamas but stated that there is currently no evidence of Iran’s direct involvement in organizing the attack.
The situation remains tense, with Israel preparing for a ground invasion of the Gaza Strip and seeking support from its allies. The controversy surrounding Biden’s address highlights the ongoing tensions between the U.S. and Iran, as well as the complex dynamics of the Israel-Palestine conflict.
