Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi reaffirmed Tehran’s support for Hamas and other regional armed groups in a phone call with Khalil al-Hayya, a member of the Palestinian group’s leadership council, Iran’s Foreign Ministry said Thursday.
During the call, Hayya thanked Iran for its support and backing of what he called the legitimate struggle of the Palestinian people, according to the ministry statement.
He also praised Iran’s negotiating team for insisting on a simultaneous halt to fighting on all fronts in the region, the statement said.
Hayya briefed Araghchi on the latest situation in Gaza, accusing Israel of continuing its military operations and obstructing the implementation of a ceasefire agreement.
He also offered condolences over the killing of Iran’s Supreme Leader and several commanders and officials in what the statement described as recent US and Israeli attacks, while congratulating Iran on what he called its victory in the “Ramadan war.”
Araghchi, for his part, expressed condolences over the death of Hayya’s son and several Hamas commanders in Gaza, and praised what he called the “steadfastness” of the Palestinian people and resistance groups.
The Iranian foreign minister also outlined Tehran’s latest efforts to stop the war in the region and stressed that Iran would continue its policy of supporting what it calls the legitimate resistance of regional nations, especially in Palestine and Lebanon, against Israel.
