Leader message on Sinwar martyrdom
The Leader of Iran’s Islamic Revolution hails martyred Hamas leader Yahaya Sinwar for standing up to the Israeli regime, saying he has joined his martyred companions. Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei described Sinwar as a brilliant figure of resistance and perseverance, adding that he slapped the enemy in the face with his prudence and bravery.

On Friday, Araghchi attended the third meeting of countries of the South Caucasus Regional Cooperation Platform in Istanbul.
