The heads of terror groups Hamas, Hezbollah and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad met Wednesday to unite in the war against Israel — as Iran’s supreme leader blasted the US and vowed that “the future world belongs to Palestine.”

Photos released by Hezbollah’s al-Manar television station and Lebanese state media showed Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah sitting in a plush wingback chair as he spoke to Hamas deputy chief Saleh Al-Arouri and Palestinian Islamic Jihad head Ziad al-Nakhala, who sat on a couch.

The trio of terrorist leaders — dubbed the “axis of resistance” — spoke under portraits of Iran’s former and current Supreme Leaders, Ruhollah Khomeni and Ali Khomeni. The three terrorist groups are all funded by Khomeni’s regime.

The meeting was to set a goal for achieving “a real victory for the resistance in Gaza and Palestine” and halt Israel’s “treacherous and brutal aggression against our oppressed and steadfast people in Gaza and the West Bank,” according to a brief statement released afterward.

The major terror organizations — along with other Iran-backed militants — agreed on the next steps to be taken at this “sensitive stage,” the statement said, without elaborating on exactly what those steps were.

Deputy chairman of Hamas, 57
Credited as founding commander of Hamas’ military wing in 1993. Arouri  publicly claimed responsibility on behalf of Hamas for the June 2014 abduction and slayings of three Israeli teens in the West Bank.

Spent 15 years in jail in Israel for his role in Hamas, then was exiled from the country. Believed to live in Turkey. The US has offered a reward of up to $5 million for information about Arouri and his whereabouts.

Has led the Lebanon terrorist group since 1992. Al Jazeera dubbed him the Arab world’s answer to Che Guevara and Fidel Castro. Nasrallah declined to comment earlier this year after a suicide bomber armed with explosives was killed upon entering Israel from Lebanon. “Our silence is part of the psychological, media and military battle with the enemy,”

Under Nakhala’s leadership, the Jerusalem Post wrote last year, the PIJ has morphed into a “fully owned and operated subsidiary” of Iran, which funnels funds to Hamas and Hezbollah.

Meanwhile, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei said that the US is “orchestrating” Israel’s bombing campaign in Gaza. 

“The US is definitely the Zionist regime’s accomplice in its crimes against #Gaza,” Khamenei wrote on X Wednesday. 

“The blood of the oppressed children of Gaza is on the US’s hands.”

Khamenei also declared that “Palestine will definitely be victorious.” 

“Palestine will definitely be victorious in this current situation and in the future,” he continued. 

“The future world belongs to Palestine. It does not belong to the usurping Zionist regime.”

The meeting of the three terror leaders also came as Queen Rania of Jordan said the Middle East is “shocked and disappointed” by the world’s reaction to Israeli airstrikes in the Gaza Strip.

“The people all around the Middle East, including in Jordan, we are just shocked and disappointed by the world’s reaction to the catastrophe that is unfolding,” she told CNN’s Christiane Amanpour.

“In the last couple of weeks, we have seen a glaring double standard in the world. When Oct. 7 happened, the world immediately and unequivocally stood by Israel and its right to defend itself and the attack that happened,” she said of Hamas’ surprise attack on the Jewish nation.

“But what we’re seeing in the last couple of weeks, we’re seeing silence in the world,” Rania continued.

“So the silence is deafening — and to many in our region, it makes the Western world complicit.

“Are we being told that it is wrong to kill a family, an entire family at gunpoint, but it’s OK to shell them to death? I mean there is a glaring double standard here,” she said.

Many in the Middle East have warned in recent weeks of retaliation against Israel for its airstrikes on Gaza.

Last week, Iran’s Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdallahian warned that a regional network of militias dubbed the “axis of resistance” would open “multiple fronts” against Israel if it continued to kill civilians in Gaza.

“Time is running out very fast,” Amir-Abdollahian said during a live televised interview with Iranian state television Monday night, according to the New York Times.

“If the war crimes against the Palestinians are not immediately stopped, other multiple fronts will open and this is inevitable.”

Following an explosion at a Gaza hospital — which was falsely blamed on an Israeli airstrike — Amir-Abdollahian tweeted: “Time is OVER!”

Meanwhile, Jordanian and Egyptian leaders have raised concerns that millions of Palestinians could be pushed out of Gaza and the West Bank and into Egypt and Jordan, respectively.

Jordan’s King Abdullah warned last week that such a displacement of Palestinians would be a “red line” and said neither Jordan nor Egypt would accept refugees.

He dismissed the suggestion of the two nations taking in fleeing Gazans as a plan “by the usual suspects to try to create de facto issues on the ground.”

Asked by Amanpour about her husband’s comments, Rania said the people of Gaza face “two choices.

“Essentially, they’re given a choice between expulsion or extermination, between ethnic cleansing and genocide,” she claimed.

“And no people should be given, [should] have to face that kind of choice.

“The people of Palestine should not, [the people] of Gaza should not be forced to move again.”

Rania also claimed that the war did not begin with Hamas’ surprise attack on Oct. 7.

“Most networks are covering the story under the title ‘Israel at war,’” she said. “But for many Palestinians on the other side of the separation wall, on the other side of the barbed wire, war has never left.

“This is a 75-year-old story, a story of overwhelming death and displacement to the Palestinian people,” she continued. 

“It is a story of occupation under [an] apartheid regime that occupies lands, that demolishes houses, confiscates lands, military incursions, night raids.”

She said there “can never be a resolution except around a negotiating table.”

“There is only one path to this, and that is a free, sovereign and independent Palestinian state, living side by side, in peace and security with the land of Israel,” Rania said, as she advocated for a two-state solution.
