Iran will continue to support the Axis of Resistance and Gaza's residents, President Masoud Pezeshkian affirmed on Saturday.

While hosting a Hamas delegation in Tehran, Pezeshkian noted that Islamic countries can reconstruct Gaza and revive it, stressing the need for the formation of an international coalition, which would include these countries, for Gaza's reconstruction and extending support to its residents.

According to the president, "This is certainly possible."

He also stressed that Iran would continue to support the Axis of Resistance and the oppressed people of Gaza, expressing confidence that the "final victory would be in favor of the resistance."

Earlier today, Sayyed Khamenei received Hamas Shura Council chairman Mohammad Ismail Darwish, as well as the Resistance group's acting leader Khalil al-Hayya and other members of the group's political bureau in Tehran.

Hamas's Shura Council, the key consultative body responsible for electing its politburo, is on a regional tour led by Darwish and his delegation. The tour includes stops in Egypt, Turkiye, and now Tehran.

Sayyed Khamenei called on the Palestinian Resistance to persevere, stressing it is “necessary to plan for cultural works and continue the current path of PR works alongside military affairs and the reconstruction of Gaza.”

The Leader described faith as the main “asymmetric weapon” of the Resistance front against the enemy, adding, “It is because of this faith that the Islamic Republic and the Resistance front do not feel weak against the enemies.”
