Iran supports the Hamas terror organization and has no interest in upgrading ties with the PA, an Iranian official stated. Rumors to the contrary are false, he said.
Iran has no interest in ties with the Palestinian Authority (PA) and has turned down a request by PA head Mahmoud Abbas to visit Tehran, several news sources reported on Wednesday.
The Al-Araby news site quotes Hussein Sheikh al-Islam, adviser on International Affairs to the Iranian Shura Council speaker, who said that the reports on Abbas’s pending visit “are false.”
“[The Palestinian leadership] has asked to visit Iran on a number of occasions and they didn’t receive permission. Their most recent request also was rejected,” the Jerusalem Post quotes al-Islam as stating.
The request had apparently been communicated to Tehran by Ahmed Majdalawi, member of the PLO Executive Committee, during a recent visit to Iran.

Sign the Petition to Oppose the Nuclear Deal with Iran
The US Congress must reject the dangerous deal with Iran and ensure that sanctions remain in force until the nuclear threat is completely eliminated.
I strongly oppose any deal with Iran that allows for easing sanctions before the nuclear threat has been completely eliminated. Allowing Iran to enrich uranium without being subject to 'anytime, anywhere' inspections is extremely dangerous and unacceptable. This bad deal with Iran is far worse than no deal and must be rejected.
