Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh will travel to Tehran on Tuesday to meet Iranian officials, a day after the United Nations Security Council adopted a resolution demanding an immediate ceasefire between Israel and the Palestinian group, Iran's official Press TV reported.
Iran has backed Hamas in the nearly six-month war with Israel that has killed more than 32,000 Palestinians in Gaza.
It will be Haniyeh's second visit to Iran since the outbreak of the war on Oct. 7.
Iranian foreign ministry spokesman Nasser Kanaani called Monday's resolution a "positive step".
"A more important step is effective action for its implementation," said Kanaani.
Hamas welcomed the U.N. resolution but said the ceasefire needs to be permanent.
Iran's Revolutionary Guards, whose power and influence have expanded since the US and Israel pursued war against Iran, have appealed to US midterm voters to reject President Donald Trump's policies and accept an offer of peaceful coexistence.
US President Donald Trump on Monday denied offering Iran sanctions relief and the release of frozen funds in return for nuclear concessions from Tehran.
US President Donald Trump told reporters that United States officials talked with mediators trying to end Washington's war with Iran on Monday, adding the US will win the Iran war "very soon."
