Where has the ties been proven? It is not like we are seeing Iranian generals and politicians in Gaza Strip a la with US politicians in the Israeli regime.

If you asked me, I think Iran should be doing more to help Hamas, but to suggest that they planned the attack when they too were surprised by it is absurd, and reduces the indigenous Palestinian resistance to an Iran-affiliated militia.

Definitely not saying that they planned it, but that the relationship between Russia and Hamas, enabled by Iran, might had a role in enabling them to happen. My point comes mostly from here:

(something tells me you didn't go through my links ;) )

In any case.. what do I know?

I think you don't know why Palestinians fight. There's a reason it was named Al-Aqsa Flood https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/10/4/israeli-settlers-storm-al-aqsa-mosque-complex-on-fifth-day-of-sukkot and it isn't the first time Hamas responds to Israel desecration of the Al-Aqsa Mosque.

Blaming Iran or Russia for Hamas' actions proves you are high on US propaganda.
