Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian met with Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh in Doha on Tuesday.

According to a report published in Iran’s Mehr News Agency, the foreign minister said Tehran condemns “the child-killing Israeli regime” that the West supports.

Amir-Abdollahian also slammed Israel for what he said were “brutal crimes of the Zionist occupiers in Jerusalem and the Al-Aqsa mosque on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem.”

He also stressed Tehran’s complete support for the legitimate defense of the Palestinian people and resistance groups against “the occupation of the Zionist regime.”

Haniyeh thanked Iran for its support for the Palestinians and called for a united front of Islamic, Arab and other countries against Israel.

“Today in the Washington, D.C., area, Homeland Security Investigations executed a judicially authorized search warrant secured by the Department of Justice,” the U.S. agency stated.
An initial review of the incident suggested that the explosion was “likely caused by an unexploded cluster munition belonging to Hezbollah that had remained in the area,” according to the Israel Defense Forces.
The Democrats Party chairman said that more extreme factions are now ruling over the Islamic Republic.
Friends of Zion founder Mike Evans says the summit aimed to counter antisemitism and the “big lie” that the Jewish people are alone.
