Senior Hamas official Basem Naim spoke by phone with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, thanking Iran for securing a ceasefire and praising Tehran's stance against the US and Israel, according to a channel tracking Iranian news. Araghchi affirmed continued Iranian support for the Palestinian cause and said Iran raises the Gaza war and Israeli ceasefire violations at international forums and in talks with the US.
The phone call between Basem Naim and Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, reported Tuesday evening, underscores the close coordination between Hamas and Tehran following the ceasefire announcement. Naim, a senior Hamas figure based in Gaza, thanked Iran for its role in securing the agreement and praised Tehran's resistance against the US and Israel, while requesting continued Iranian support for the Palestinian people and Gaza.
Araghchi, in turn, reaffirmed Iran's ongoing commitment to the Palestinian cause and stated that Iran's negotiating team raises the issue of the war in Gaza and Israeli ceasefire violations "in all international institutions and also in negotiations with the American side."
The call comes amid a flurry of Iranian diplomatic outreach. As The Zioneer has reported, Araghchi has held recent phone conversations with his Qatari, French, Russian, Saudi, and Lebanese counterparts, as well as with Turkish and Saudi officials. The US-Iran memorandum of understanding announced earlier this month has reshaped regional dynamics. Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz has stated Israel will not forfeit gains achieved in parallel negotiations with Iran.
The content and timing of Naim's call suggest Hamas is actively seeking to solidify Iranian backing as the ceasefire takes hold, and that Tehran sees the Palestinian track as a component of its broader regional strategy.
