Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has congratulated the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas on the victory of the resistance and the Palestinian people against the Israeli regime in the genocidal war in Gaza.

According to The Iran Project, Araghchi made the remarks on Thursday evening in a telephone conversation with Deputy Head of the movement’s Political Bureau Khalil al-Hayya a day after a long-awaited truce deal was announced to end Israel’s brutal onslaught on Gaza.

Araghchi praised the legendary steadfastness of the Palestinian people in the face of the Israeli genocide and unprecedented crimes of the regime over the past 15 months.

He said the Palestinian resistance forced the occupying regime of Israel to surrender and accept the ceasefire and prisoner exchange agreement.

He emphasized the principled position of the Islamic Republic of Iran in continuing to support the Palestinian cause and the legitimate and lawful resistance of the Palestinian people against the occupation and the violation of the right of the Palestinian people to self-determination, according to Press TV.

Meanwhile, the Hamas official also provided updates to the Iranian foreign minister on the latest situation in Gaza and the ceasefire negotiations.
