Hamas has urged Iran to stop targeting neighbouring countries during the current conflict. The group cited efforts to prevent further regional escalation as a key reason for the appeal.
Iran has carried out missile and drone strikes against at least ten countries in response to perceived aggression. These actions have prompted evacuations and shelter-in-place orders in several capitals, including Doha.
Hamas has engaged officials in Qatar, Turkey, and Iraq to encourage mediation. The group also stated that Iran retains the right to defend itself against Israel and the United States.
