The U.S. should avoid linking their future to that of Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, as warned by Iran.

• Iran's foreign minister cautioned the U.S. against linking their future with that of Prime Minister Netanyahu and stated that Washington's unwavering support for Israel is the source of instability in the region.
• Hossein Amir-Abdollahian stated that Tehran urges the U.S. to put an end to the conflict in Gaza, while emphasizing the significance of security in the Red Sea to his country.

Iran's foreign minister cautioned the U.S. against linking their future with that of Prime Minister Netanyahu and stated that Washington's unwavering support for Israel is the source of instability in the region.

According to Iran's Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, the U.S. should not link their future to that of Netanyahu.

His comments came as the Israel-Hamas war drags beyond its 100th day.

The U.S. has consistently shown unwavering support for Israel during its conflict with Hamas in Gaza.

On Oct. 7, more than 1,200 people were killed and over 240 hostages were taken by the Palestinian militant group Hamas when they infiltrated Israel.

Since the attack, U.S. President Joe Biden has visited the country to show solidarity and pledged billions of dollars in military support. Secretary of State Antony Blinken has also visited Israel several times.

Amir-Abdollahian stated that the lack of cooperation between Biden and the White House and thugs like Netanyahu in Israel is the source of instability in the region.

The White House declined to comment on CNBC's request.

Aiding the Houthis?

Amir-Abdollahian stated that Iran believes the U.S. should end the conflict in Gaza, while emphasizing the significance of security in the Red Sea to his country.

He tried to refute allegations that the Islamic Republic supports the Houthi rebels, who have caused disruptions in global trade by attacking commercial vessels in the Red Sea.

He stated that the individuals in Yemen and neighboring countries who support the Palestinian people are acting based on their own experiences and motivations, and they are not being directed by us.

In late 2019, the Houthi militia launched drone and missile attacks on shipping vessels and cargo ships in the Red Sea, signaling their intention to target Israeli ships and those bound for or from Israel as a response to the ongoing conflict in Gaza, which has resulted in the deaths of over 24,000 people.

On Monday, a U.S.-owned commercial vessel was targeted by an anti-ship ballistic missile launched by the Houthis, according to the U.S. Central Command.

The Iranian minister emphasized the significance of maritime security to us, stating that our oil exports are at stake. If there is any insecurity in our vicinity, it will not benefit us.

Any action to destabilize the region is rooted in Israel's genocide in Gaza.

Iran remains committed to supporting Hamas in its conflict with Israel and continues to arm Hezbollah with weapons.

The Houthi rebels, who are fighting against the Yemeni government, have been accused by Yemeni officials of receiving military and financial support from Iran and Hezbollah. However, Iranian and Hezbollah officials have denied these allegations.

Last week, the U.S. and its allies began conducting strikes against Houthi targets in Yemen in an effort to safeguard international trade.

Biden stated that the targeted strikes were a clear message that the United States and its partners would not tolerate attacks on their personnel or allow hostile actors to endanger freedom of navigation in one of the world's most vital commercial routes.

The U.S. has previously carried out strikes on Iranian proxies in Syria and Iraq, but a strike against the Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen would be the first.

On Monday, the chief negotiator for Yemen's Houthis remained unyielding and declared that the Red Sea attacks aimed at halting Israeli ships will persist, as they renewed their demand for an end to the conflict in Gaza.

In a televised speech last week, Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, the leader of Yemen's Houthis, warned that any American attack on the group would not be without retaliation.

On Tuesday, Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps fired ballistic missiles at what is believed to be Israeli "spy headquarters" in northern Iraq and "anti-Iran terror groups" in Syria, potentially fueling the existing conflict.

Amir-Abdollahian stated that Iran's armed forces' attacks were in accordance with fighting terrorism and exercising legitimate self-defense.

He stated that there are no reservations on our part to safeguard our national interest with any other country.
