Iran Pledges Full Support to Hamas in Battle for Jerusalem
(Times of Israel) Dov Lieber - "All of our capabilities and potential are at your disposal in the battle for the defense of Jerusalem," Maj.-Gen. Qassem Soleimani, commander of Iran's Revolutionary Guards, told Hamas' Gaza leader Yahya Sinwar in a phone call, the pro-Iranian Lebanese news outlet al-Mayadeen reported Monday. "Iran, the Revolutionary Guards and Quds Force stand with all they have with our people in order to defend Jerusalem so that Jerusalem will endure as the capital of the state of Palestine," Sinwar quoted Soleimani as saying. In recent months, Hamas has publicly flaunted its burgeoning ties with Iran, with Sinwar saying Iran has become the group's key military sponsor.
