JAKARTA - Tehran's top diplomat discussed Iran's meeting with the United States in talks with senior officials of the Palestinian militant group Hamas, state television reported on Wednesday.
Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi discussed "recent developments" in the region with Basem Naeem, a member of Hamas' political bureau, Iranian television said.
The conversation followed the signing of a memorandum of understanding last week between Iran and the United States aimed at permanently ending hostilities in the Middle East, as reported by Al Arabiya from AFP (24/6).
During the phone call, Araghchi "reiterated the continued support of the Mullah State for Palestine and their just struggle until their legitimate national rights are fully realized," according to a transcript reported by Iranian television.
The MoU does not mention the Gaza Strip, Palestine, but stipulates "an immediate and permanent cessation of military operations on all fronts, including in Lebanon."
Hamas welcomed the agreement and expressed hope that it would also help end violence in the Gaza Strip, which has been devastated by more than two years of war with Israel.
Iran itself is known as one of the loyal supporters of the Palestinian struggle, making it the basis of its foreign policy since the 1979 Revolution.
On Tuesday, Foreign Minister Araghchi accompanied President Masoud Pezeshkian on a visit to Pakistan, which has acted as a mediator in talks between Tehran and Washington.
