Iran’s top diplomat has spoken with a senior official from Hamas regarding talks between Iran and the United States, according to state television, AFP reports.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has discussed the “latest developments” in the region with Basem Naeem, a member of Hamas’s political bureau, Iranian television says.
Hamas has welcomed the agreement and has expressed hope that it would also help end the violence in the Gaza Strip, which has been devastated by over two years of war with Israel.
During the call, Araghchi “reaffirmed the Islamic Republic’s continued support for Palestinians and their just cause until their legitimate national rights are fully realised”, according to a transcript reported by Iranian television.
