Hamas Keeps Door Open with Iran Despite Comments by Revolutionary Guards
[ENGLISH.AAWSAT] Paleostinian sources told Asharq Al-Awat that Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, Movement had deliberately used a strict tone in replying to Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps, after an agreement reached between its internal and external leadership, including the movement, which supports restoring complete relations with Tehran.According to the sources, different leaderships of Hamas had agreed on the need to respond to the Revolutionary Guards’ remarks, and send a deliberate message that the movement was not controllable by any party, and that this matter will not be part of any future agreements. Hamas had issued an official statement condemning remarks made by Khosro Orouj, an advisor to Iran’s Revolutionary Guards, in which he accused the Paleostinian group of seeking to enter into talks with Israel through ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... The statement described the comments of the Iranian official as "unfounded fabrications," and devoid of truth. It added that Hamas’ official policy "is not to enter into talks with the enemy." Hamas said that "it will remain at the forefront of the resistance in Paleostine until the liberation and the return of the [Paleostinian refugees]." The Hamas statement was issued only few hours after Orouj’s remarks, in which he said that Hamas’ efforts to sign an agreement with Israel through Turkey "contradicts the path of Imam Khomeimi that rejects sitting with the oppressor on one table."
