Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and Hamas Gaza chief Khalil al-Hayya discussed the situation in Palestine and the latest developments across the region during a phone call Thursday, as tensions continue to shape the Middle East's political landscape.

Araghchi explained the latest measures taken by Iran to stop the war in the region, the semi-official Tasnim News Agency reported, citing an Iranian Foreign Ministry statement.

He stressed "Iran’s principled policy of supporting the legitimate resistance of the peoples of the region, particularly in Palestine and Lebanon, against the occupation and assaults of the Zionist entity," meaning Israel.

For his part, al-Hayya praised the stance of the Iranian negotiating delegation for stressing a simultaneous cessation of war across all regional fronts, expressing gratitude for Iran’s steady support for the Palestinian people’s legitimate struggle.

He provided an update on the current situation in occupied Palestine, particularly the Gaza Strip, amid ongoing Israeli aggression, occupation, and its obstruction of the ceasefire
