Iran's Pezeshkian tells Hamas chief that Iran will support any decision made in Gaza - report
Pezeshkian pledged Iran's support for the Palestinian leaders' decision in a phone call with the head of Hamas' political bureau.
Iran's President Masoud Pezeshkian assured Hamas chief Khalil al-Hayya that Iran would support any decision made by Palestinian leaders during ongoing indirect talks between Hamas and Israel. The statement came from Iranian state media after Pezeshkian's phone conversation with al-Hayya. However, IRGC, Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, has reportedly urged Hamas not to sign a disarming deal with Israel.
This suggestion was made during a recent visit by Hamas delegation members to Iran for the funeral of former supreme leader Ali Khamenei. A senior US official claimed that Iran attempted to dissuade Hamas from signing the deal, but the group reportedly chose not to heed the advice. White House officials revealed that Hamas had several concerns, and despite months of delicate negotiations, they reached a breakthrough. They plan to advance the implementation of the agreement in the coming weeks.
