Iran-US tensions over Hamas support

Overview

In early July 2026 Iran announced it would not seek peace with the United States and would not recognize Israel, emphasizing its ongoing engagement with Hamas. By early August, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian publicly congratulated the newly elected Hamas political bureau chief and reaffirmed Tehran’s backing for the group. At the same time, U.S. President Donald Trump unveiled a “historic agreement” aimed at fully disarming Hamas and other armed factions in Gaza. The juxtaposition of Iran’s renewed pledge to support Hamas and the U.S. push for disarmament highlighted a deepening diplomatic rift, with both sides maintaining opposing positions on the conflict’s resolution.
