Hamas: Relations between Hamas and Iran are still ongoing

Senior Hamas official Osama Hamdan said that his Movement’s relations with Iran are still ongoing and developing, despite their different positions towards some regional events, especially in Syria.

In a statement to Quds Press, Hamdan highlighted that his Movement’s foreign relations with Iran and other countries are based on their supportive positions towards the Palestinian cause.

“Our relationship with Iran has always been ongoing. It is true that it has sustained some damage due to the developments in the regional landscape, especially in Syria, but these relations did not stop and are developing, and we do not need any mediations to bring them back to normal,” the Hamas official stated.

Hamdan also stressed that Hamas did not make a mistake when it declared its bias in favor of the oppressed Arab peoples and do not need to reconsider its position in this regard.

“Some people are trying to show that Hamas is in trouble and has probably made a serious mistake it should undo when it decided to side with the Arab peoples’ aspirations for freedom and dignity. We believe the mistaken are those who have stood against the peoples and they need to think things over again,” he underlined.
