Iran warns the U.S. not to 'tie their destiny' to the fate of Israel's Netanyahu

Iran's foreign minister warned the U.S. not to "tie their destiny" to the fate of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and said Washington's full support for Israel is "the root of insecurity in the region."

"The U.S. should not, Mr. [Joe] Biden should not tie their destiny to the fate of Netanyahu," Iran's Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian told CNBC's Dan Murphy on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum in Davos.

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

The U.S. has expressed steadfast support for Israel in its war against Hamas in Gaza.

Palestinian militant group Hamas infiltrated Israel on Oct. 7, killing more than 1,200 people and taking more than 240 hostages.

In the aftermath of the attack, U.S. President Joe Biden flew to the country in a show of solidarity, pledging billions of dollars in military support. Secretary of State Antony Blinken has since visited Israel several times since.

"The full-scale cooperation of Biden and the White House with thugs like Netanyahu in Israel is the root of insecurity in the region," Amir-Abdollahian added.

The White House did not immediately respond to CNBC's request for comment.

Iran wants the U.S. to "stop the war in Gaza," Amir-Abdollahian said, stressing that security in the Red Sea is important to his country.

He sought to deny claims that the Islamic Republic is aiding Yemen-based Houthi rebels, who have disrupted global trade in their attacks of commercial vessels transiting through the Red Sea.

"The people of Yemen and other countries in the region who defend the Palestinian people are acting according to their own experience and through their own interests, and they are not receiving any orders or instructions from us," he said.
