Iran said on Tuesday that the relation with Hamas and the Islamic Jihad is at the best possible level.

During his weekly news conference Foreign Ministry spokesman, Ramin Mehmanparast, stressed that the Islamic Republic of Iran has always stood by the Palestinians during their difficult days.

He said that the Iranian support for the resistance movement of the Palestinians against the Zionist regime is a priority of Iran's foreign policy.

Referring to the western media's unfounded claims regarding Tehran's ties with Hamas and Islamic Jihad, Mehmanparast said such moves are resulted from the failure of the Zionist regime in its recent war against Gaza.

They cannot tolerate another victory of the Palestinian people, the senior diplomat added.
