Hamas urges Iran to stop ‘targeting neighbouring’ countries; supports Tehran's right to defend itself against U.S.-Israel

Hamas has expressed its concerns regarding Iran's military actions towards neighboring countries, urging Tehran to cease such activities. Despite this, the Palestinian militant group reaffirmed its support for Iran's right to defend itself against what it perceives as aggression from the United States and Israel. This statement comes in the wake of Hamas's own two-year conflict with Israel in Gaza, which has resulted in significant loss of life and widespread devastation. As the situation in the Middle East remains volatile, Hamas also called upon the international community to intervene and work towards an immediate cessation of hostilities. The ongoing tensions highlight the complexities of regional alliances and the need for diplomatic efforts to restore peace in the area.
