Iran has announced that Hamas is prepared to release all 199 hostages currently being held by Israel if the airstrikes in the Gaza Strip cease. Nasser Kanani, Iran’s Foreign Affairs Spokesman, made this revelation during a press conference in Tehran. As a staunch supporter of Hamas in its fight against Israel, Iran’s statement carries significant weight. However, Hamas has not yet confirmed Iran’s claim regarding the release of the hostages.
According to Nasser Kanani, “Hamas was willing to consider the release of the captured hostages. However, given the widespread bombing by the Zionists in various parts of Gaza, such considerations seemed impossible.”
In the meantime, Hamas has reiterated its position several times, stating that it is willing to release the hostages if Israel reciprocates by releasing the thousands of Palestinian citizens it currently holds. Iran also hinted that Hamas is prepared to continue its resistance if Israel persists in its aggression. Furthermore, Iran asserted that Hamas possesses both the military capabilities and weaponry necessary to defend against Israel in the long run.
In recent developments, Hamas has claimed responsibility for launching missile attacks on both Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. The group justified these attacks as a response to Israel’s indiscriminate targeting of Palestinian civilians.
Concurrently, various nations, including the United States, are actively attempting to de-escalate tensions in the region. US Interior Secretary, Anthony Blinken, who was present in Israel during the conflict, has delayed his return to the United States. Reports indicate that he will instead be traveling to Amman, the capital of Jordan. This change in Blinken’s itinerary is viewed as part of ongoing negotiations aimed at resolving the crisis.
