Iran–Palestine relations

1 week ago - Following the revolution, Iran ended its alliance with Israel and started supporting the Palestinians, symbolized by turning over the Israeli embassy in Tehran to the Palestine Liberation Organization.

June 14, 2018 - But Tehran’s involvement with the Sunni Palestinians deepened progressively with three major turning points: The Palestinian Liberation Organization’s call for peace talks with Israel in 1988, the second intifada – or uprising – in 2000, and the election of Hamas in 2006. ... During the monarchy, the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) had close ties with the Iranian opposition.

August 22, 2025 - For decades, Iran has facilitated the material conditions for armed resistance to Israel in line with its own ideological and geopolitical ends, while the United States and Israel have used Iran’s exaggerated propaganda and its support of pro-Palestinian resistance to justify their aggressive, imperialist policies in the Middle East. As the terrain shifts in light of the ceasefire agreement (which may or may not hold) and the new Trump administration, Iran will continue to prioritize its own strategic interests.

November 16, 2023 - I’m not saying the enemy of my enemy is my friend, this isn’t how geopolitics work. We aren’t friends with Iran, nor are Palestinians a paw in their hand like Hezbollah or Hothis. Our brothers in Gaza are suffocated by Israel and the Arabs. They either take the L and become bootlickers like PLO in West Bank or they fight back.

4 days ago - Payment of the debts is legally complicated by the international sanctions against Iran and by the fact that Israel classifies Iran as an enemy state. In May 2015, a Swiss court ordered the Eilat Ashkelon Pipeline Company to pay $1.1 billion to Iran, which Israel refuses to do. Iranian Islamists have a long history of sympathizing with the Palestinians.

July 15, 2025 - In fact, the Palestinians have been weak since the 1993 Oslo Accords, which fractured the national leadership of the Palestine Liberation Organization and allowed Israel to continue efforts to colonize all of Palestine and attack those few Palestinians (or their allies) willing to resist its plan. Israel’s use of immense military power has emboldened it to dictate terms to its neighbors. Since October 7, 2023, Israel, with its deep US support, has shown its willingness to use its immense military power to devastate Palestinian, Lebanese, Syrian, Yemeni, and Iranian targets.

Before answering the aforementioned questions, it should be noted that during the Pahlavi period, unlike since the 1979 Islamic revolution, Iran maintained close relations with both the Israelis and Palestinians. Although Iran opposed the United Nations plan to establish the state of Israel in 1948, “de facto” relations were formed in the early 1960s. On the one hand, Israel’s first political strategy was to establish relations with non-Arab states through its “periphery doctrine.” As a means of balancing pan-Arabism and outflanking its hostile Arab neighbours, iranicaonline.org writes, the strategy served to enhance Israel’s security and economic ties, as well as reduce regional isolation.

December 20, 2023 - Iran gradually came to support Palestinian armed groups as an integral part of its regional security policy to contain and preoccupy Israel which, along with the United States, it has long perceived as the greatest threat to its security and ...

While some outside the Iranian diaspora may assume that Iranians are devout or practicing Muslims due to the nature of the Iranian government, what has become clear is a “horseshoe effect.” Many Iranians have become so disillusioned with the government over the past 45 years that it has been difficult for them to decouple Islam, much like Palestine, from the regime. Similarly, although the Israeli occupation of Palestine (and ensuing wars and struggles for Palestinian liberation) is not inherently religious, a number of Iranians negatively associate Palestine with Islam because of their narrow views of Hamas and the Iranian government’s involvement.

May 13, 2024 - While the Islamic Republic is considered the primary state enemy of Israel, the Palestinian-Israeli conflict does not appear to be a priority for the Iranian public, including various opposition groups, students, and intellectuals.

Iran and Israel’s latest exchange of attacks elicited varying reactions in Gaza, the West Bank, and abroad, highlighting one of the main challenges in the Palestinian arena: coalescing around a unified order that can advance a singular Palestinian national interest.

First, to openly demonstrate Iran’s unwavering support for Hamas and the Palestinian cause to the international community. Second, it was a show of force to the region at large, and particularly to Israel and the United States. Quite simply, and unlike other states that normalized with Israel or were about to, Iran has not been forced to change its discourse after the outbreak of the war or disguise its foreign actions, as its stance has always been to oppose any negotiations with Israel and support the non-state groups fighting them.

Answer (1 of 9): Cmiiw, and sorry for my bad grammar. The differences between iran and palestine are actually not the same problems. Israel and Palestine are having a conflict about the land of Palestine that those israeli/zionist believe it was promised thousands of years ago. They believe Pales...
