Hamas urges key ally Iran to halt attacks on Gulf states

Hamas called on Iran to avoid attacks on Gulf neighbors to preserve regional ties and urged international action to end the war, which has killed at least 18 in the Gulf, officials said.

  • Hamas issued a public statement urging its "brothers in Iran" to avoid targeting neighbouring Gulf states on Saturday, March 14, 2026.
  • Escalating strikes over the past two weeks have killed at least 18 people across Gulf and wider Middle East countries, including six each in the UAE and Kuwait.
  • Hamas leaders say they have contacted Iranian officials and regional intermediaries such as Qatar and Turkey, while Palestinian sources report disrupted contact with senior IRGC figures at the war's start.
  • Hamas appealed to governments and international organisations to intervene, urging regional nations to cooperate and halt the aggression, while Iran has not publicly commented as of Saturday.
  • Iran's historical support for Hamas makes the public rebuke striking, and Hezbollah's entry and Israeli strikes in Lebanon have killed nearly 800 people since March 2, intensifying regional spillover.
