Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian also criticised the US for providing military support.
Iran's Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian has warned Israel that the Middle East could spiral out of control if it does not stop strikes on Gaza.
He said the US was also "to blame" for providing military support to Israel.
Hours later, Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu warned troops his people were in a battle for their lives and said the war against Hamas was "do or die".
Iran's Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian has warned Israel that the Middle East could spiral out of control if it does not stop strikes on Gaza.
"I warn the US and its proxy Israel that if they do not immediately stop the crime against humanity and genocide in Gaza, anything is possible at any moment and the region will go out of control," Mr Amir-Abdollahian said at a news conference in Tehran.
"If any group or any country is looking to widen this conflict and take advantage of this very unfortunate situation... our advice is: don't," he said on the ABC network's This Week programme.
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken also mentioned a "likelihood of escalation" from Iranian proxies, such as Hezbollah or Hamas, and said the US was "taking every measure to make sure we can defend" Israelis and US citizens.
Also on Sunday, Mr Netanyahu paid a visit to troops in northern Israel near the border with Lebanon, which has seen exchanges of fire with Hezbollah since the early days of the conflict.
And in neighbouring Syria - where Iran has a military presence - Israeli missiles hit Damascus and Aleppo international airports early on Sunday, killing at least two workers, according to Syrian state media.

One terrorist attack doesn’t equal a siege. Cutting off supplies and blockading a territory is a siege. Palestinians have been under some for decades now.
you’re saying palestinians have been denied supplies and have been in a blockade for decades? are you aware that an actually besieged population resorts to cannibalism within a month’s time?

Debunking Zionist talking points? Looks good to me. Zionists are amongst the most biased, indoctrinated groups I've talked to. They make Americans look practically objective.
Hamas and Hezbollah financier, Iran, who calls America the Great Satan, and Israel the Zionist Entity which it will wipe form the history books, two weeks after "Palestinian" Islamofacist Terrorists stormed into Israel and slaughtered, raped, and burnt close to 2 thousand Israelis, concerns are noted.
The war will end, once Hamas and PIJ are cleansed from Gaza, and then Gaza will look far different than it does today, with far greater buffers between where the Arabs will live and the Israeli border. It's not going to end a millisecond before that is achieved, come what may.
We've got the US battle group in the Eastern Med, and we're ready to take on all fucking comers.
Frankly, disgusting or not, it's essentially accurate. Israel is not going to tolerate Hamas and a militarized Gaza continuing to exist, regardless of how many people on the internet post criticisms of it.
Yeah, but on the other hand. This situation can't stay like this. Something needs to happen even if it's horrible and disgusting. Imagine a small part of land attached to your country that keeps attacking you and if you fight back your the enemy. That's not sustainable.
