Iranian media outlets slam UK designation of Hamas as ‘terrorist’

Iranian media outlets denounced the UK’s decision to brand Palestinian resistance movement Hamas as a “terrorist organization”.

Tehran (Qodsna)- A number of Iranian media outlets including Qods, Tasnim, Fars, Iqna and Basij News agencies issued a joint statement in solidarity with the Palestinian nation and Islamic Resistance movements, condemning the British government's decision to brand Palestinian resistance movement Hamas as a “terrorist organization” and considered the resistance as the only option for the Palestinian people to fulfill their rights in the face of the Zionist occupiers.

 

The text of this statement, which will be officially given to the representative of the Hamas movement in Tehran by the Media Cultural Center, is as follows:

The British colonial government's decision in declaring the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) as a terrorist organization and imposition of severe punishments on citizens who support this Palestinian popular movement is an act against human rights and reflects the colonial nature of this government.

 

We in the Iranian media, condemn this action and believe that the British government has sacrificed the rights and freedoms of Palestinian citizens to support the Zionist regime and by restricting freedoms, especially freedom of speech, trying to silence any voice against Israel by accusing them as terrorism supporter.

 

"We also emphasize that by this action, the British government has given the Zionist regime a green light to commit more crimes against the oppressed people".

 

The British government announced that it intended to label Hamas “a terrorist organization”, joining the US, Canada and the European Union in fully banning the Gaza-based Palestinian resistance group, which plays a significant role in defending Palestinian rights against frequent Israel aggression.

 

London has since 2001 banned the group’s military wing, known as the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, across the UK, but it is the first time that the British government sets to ban Hamas’ political wing.
