TEHRAN, Oct. 27 (MNA) – Ali Bagheri Kani in a meeting with a Hamas official said that Tehran's priority in negotiations with foreign parties is an immediate ceasefire and lifting the oppressive blockade of Gaza by the Zionist regime.

Deputy Foreign Minister for Political Affairs Ali Bagheri Kani met and held talks with Mousa Abu Marzook, a Member of the political bureau of Hamas in Moscow.

Appreciating Iran's support for the Palestinian people and the Resistance, Abu Marzook said that the Al-Aqsa storm operation and what the al-Qassam Brigades (Hamas' military wing) did on October 7 was a divine miracle which is different from all previous wars with the Zionist regime.

The US believes that they will be able to crush or destroy the resistance of the people of Gaza by sending 45 planes carrying weapons and modern military equipment to Tel Aviv, the Hamas official noted, stressing, "We believe that with God's help, the oppressed people of Gaza will come out proud from this unequal battle stage which is being implemented with the support of US and a number of Western countries ".

Bagheri Kani said for his part that Tehran's priority in negotiations with foreign parties is an immediate ceasefire, providing aid to the people, and lifting the oppressive blockade of Gaza by the Zionist regime, adding that this issue is being pursued at various levels.
