Overview
- Iran’s foreign minister said representatives from more than 70 countries attended the Khamenei commemoration on Saturday, a claim posted publicly by Abbas Araghchi.
- Araghchi held separate talks with a Hamas delegation led by Mohammad Darwish that discussed conditions in Gaza and the West Bank.
- A Hezbollah delegation headed by Muhammad Fneish visited Tehran and conveyed condolences from Naim Qassem as Iran paid tribute to Hassan Nasrallah.
- State media reported Araghchi also met representatives of the PFLP and the Houthis and published strongly worded statements condemning the US and Israel.
- The events underscore Tehran’s long‑standing ties to armed regional groups, could shape Lebanon and Gaza diplomacy, and include claims sourced mainly to Iranian officials and state outlets rather than independent verification.
