Hamas Warns Iran Against Attacking Neighbouring Countries

Gaza — The Palestinian resistance movement, Hamas, has urged Iran to exercise restraint and refrain from targeting neighbouring countries in its conflict against Israel and the United States. Hamas reaffirmed Iran’s right to defend itself against Israel and the US.

“Whilst affirming the right of the Islamic Republic of Iran to respond to this aggression in all available ways in accordance with international norms and law, the movement calls upon our brothers in Iran to avoid targeting neighbouring countries,” Hamas said in a statement quoted by Al Arabiya on Saturday, 14 March 2026.

Hamas, which has been fighting Israel in the Gaza Strip for two years, also called on the international community to immediately end the ongoing war. The international community could press the United States to end the conflict.
