Iran’s support for Palestine to continue until ‘liberation of Al-Quds’: Pezeshkian

In a letter to the Head of Hamas’ political bureau Ismail Haniyeh, Iran’s President-elect Masoud Pezeshkian thanked the Palestinian leader for his earlier felicitations, declaring that his country will continue to back Palestine until its liberation from Zionist occupiers.
“The Islamic Republic of Iran, adhering to principles and lofty goals of the Islamic Revolution and within the framework of the ideals of the late Imam Khomeini as well as guidelines by the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, considers it as its human and Islamic duty to support the Palestinian nation and its struggle against the occupation and apartheid of the Zionist regime”, the president-elect said in a Wednesday message. He also vowed “comprehensive support for the oppressed people of Palestine until all their aspirations and rights are realized and Al-Quds is liberated.”

The message came in response to a letter by Haniyeh, who had congratulated Pezeshkian on his victory in Iran’s snap presidential election. The Hamas chief had told the president-elect that the people of Palestine have trust in Iran’s ability to help with the “unity of the Islamic Ummah.”
Pezeshkian also sent a letter to Hezbollah’s Secretary General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah this week, announcing that Iran is resolute in its support for Resistance forces in the region.
