Leader's Top Aide Lauds Hamas for Not Leaving Armed Struggle against Israel

"We congratulate you for declaring that you will not set your weapons aside and for describing it as your redline," Velayati said in a meeting with Deputy Head of Hamas political bureau Saleh al-Arouri in Tehran on Saturday.
Velayati underlined that he welcomes meeting with the resistance groups' officials, specially Hamas, on any occassion.
A high-ranking Hamas delegation began a visit to Iran on Friday to inform Tehran about reconciliation efforts with rival Palestinian faction Fatah, a Hamas official said.
The group led by al-Arouri will meet senior Iranian officials over the next several days, the representative said on condition of anonymity.
The two Palestinians factions have agreed a landmark deal to end a decade-long split and are seeking to form a unity government along with other parties.
