In the shadow of a relentless war on Gaza, Palestinians are now witnessing a broader regional flare-up as the United States deepens its military involvement by striking Iranian nuclear sites. Many in Gaza see the move not only as a threat to Iran but as part of the same imperial machinery enabling Israel’s continued assault on Palestinian life.

Palestinian voices, including political and civil society figures, have condemned what they describe as a reckless American escalation that aligns squarely with Israeli goals. The strikes on Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan are viewed as an extension of the same violence that has devastated Gaza, masked under the language of strategic deterrence.

For many Palestinians, Washington's actions serve as a stark reminder of its unwavering military and political cover for Israel, even as international calls grow louder for accountability over the destruction in Gaza. The attack on Iranian soil is not merely about nuclear concerns, they argue, it is a calculated show of force aimed at preserving regional dominance and silencing resistance.

Amid this dangerous escalation, Palestinians continue to express solidarity with Iran, recognising the shared burden of confronting U.S.-Israeli militarism. In Gaza’s ruins and Iran’s targeted facilities, many see different chapters of the same story, a global power structure that privileges domination over justice, and force over diplomacy.
