Palestinian Resistance factions have issued strong condemnations following the recent US airstrikes targeting Iranian nuclear facilities monitored by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). The factions described the strikes as a dangerous breach of Iranian sovereignty and a blatant extension of US imperialism in service of the Israeli occupation.
Hamas issued a press statement on Sunday morning, condemning the attacks on Iranian territory, calling them a blatant act of aggression and a dangerous escalation.
“We strongly condemn the blatant US aggression against the territory and sovereignty of the Islamic Republic of Iran,” the statement read.
Hamas described the attack as a reckless alignment with Israeli interests and a clear violation of international law.
"This heinous assault represents a serious escalation, a blind submission to the rogue Zionist occupation’s agenda, a flagrant breach of international law, and a direct threat to global peace and security,” the group added.
Reaffirming its alliance with Iran, Hamas expressed unwavering support for the Iranian leadership and people. “We affirm our solidarity with our brothers in the Islamic Republic, its leadership and people, and our full confidence in Iran’s ability to defend its sovereignty and the interests of its people," it asserted.
Islamic Jihad: 'Declaration of war on Iranian people'
The Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) movement in Palestine denounced the strikes as a clear act of aggression, labeling the Trump administration’s actions “a declaration of war on the brotherly Iranian people.” The PIJ emphasized that the United States remains “the greatest enemy to the progress and rightful aspirations of the region’s peoples.”
The Resistance group further accused Washington of providing cover for “Zionist terrorism,” calling on regional nations to acknowledge the scale and gravity of what it described as a “joint US-Zionist assault.”
Mujahideen Movement: 'Nazi-style crime'
The Palestinian Mujahideen Movement condemned the strikes as “a new Nazi-style crime carried out in service of the Zionist gang’s agenda.”
The movement warned that the attacks constitute “a direct threat to all forces resisting the US-Zionist project” and reaffirmed that such aggression “will not break the will of the Resistance nor weaken the free forces of the Arab and Islamic nation.”
Palestinian al-Ahrar Movement: A ruthless act of aggression
The Palestinian al-Ahrar Movement strongly condemned the recent US airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, calling them a “ruthless act of aggression” and a clear violation of Iran’s sovereignty and international law.
In a press release issued Sunday, the movement described the strikes as a reflection of US political decline and subservience to Israeli interests. The group accused the United States of reckless escalation and held it fully responsible for the consequences.
“This blatant assault strips away the mask and exposes the bloody, imperial face of the American administration,” the statement read, warning that US regional interests and military bases are now within range of Iranian retaliation.
The movement reaffirmed its solidarity with the Islamic Republic of Iran, praising the Iranian people, leadership, and the Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) for their steadfastness in the face of what it called “Zionist fascism".
Al-Ahrar concluded by asserting that this aggression would not weaken Iran’s resolve but would only further solidify Resistance across the region.
Resistance Committees: 'Attack on entire Ummah'
The Popular Resistance Committees described the US airstrikes on Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan as “an attack on the entire Ummah,” asserting that the true objective is to subjugate the region and dismantle all forces that oppose US and Israeli hegemony.
The group praised the steadfastness of the Iranian people, describing them as “deeply rooted in their land and unshaken in the face of aggression.”
All factions underscored the need for a unified Arab and Islamic stance in response to what they called an escalating campaign by the United States and the Israeli occupation to dismantle the strategic capabilities of the region.
They urged governments and popular movements alike to confront the aggression with solidarity and coordinated action, warning that silence would only embolden further violations.
