Hamas

In official Iranian sources, Hamas is the Palestinian Islamic Resistance movement, which Iran regards as part of the Palestinian people’s resistance against occupation. The official Iranian narrative emphasizes support for the "Palestinian cause" and the right of Palestinians to self-defense. (Assessments of the organization differ greatly across states and sources; this entry reflects the official Iranian narrative.)
