TEHRAN – In an unprecedented move, Iran’s President Ebrahim Raisi has received reporters from various Arab networks who are affiliated with resistance groups in West Asia.  

The reporters that got to speak to the president belonged to Lebanon’s Al-Manar network, Iraq’s Aletejah TV, two Palestinian networks named Palestine Today and Al-Aqsa, as well as Yemen’s Al-Masirah news channel.

During the interview, which took place at the Contemporary Art Museum of Palestine in Tehran, the Iranian president answered reporters' questions about Operation Al-Aqsa Storm, ongoing Israeli crimes in Gaza, Washington’s complicity in the war, initiatives of resistance groups in the region as well as the growing global support for the Palestinians cause. He also touched on how the current conflict in Gaza will change the dynamics of West Asia in the future.

Iran has backed the October 7 Hamas operation in the occupied territories, while calling on Islamic countries to cut all ties with the Israeli regime in response to its massacre of civilians in Gaza.
