In Soleimani letter before his death, Tehran will never neglect Palestinian people

Before his assassination by the US in Janaury, Islamic Revolution Guards Corps commander Qassem Soleimani wrote to senior Hamas leader Mohammed Deif that Tehran would continue supporting “Palestine despite all pressures and sanctions,” in a letter published by the Hezbollah-affiliated al-Mayadeen news channel.

“Everyone should rest assured that no matter how much pressures increase and sanctions are intensified, the Islamic Republic of Iran will not abandon Palestine and the Palestinian people,” Soleimani wrote.

“Defending Palestine is an honor for the Islamic Republic of Iran and Iran will not renounce and give up its duty for the benefit of the world. Palestinians are our friends, and enemies of Palestine are our enemies and this is and will be our policy,” he added.
