"Iran Hosts Palestinian Islamic Jihad and Hamas Meetings Amid Ongoing Gaza Conflict"

Leaders of Palestinian Islamic Jihad and Hamas visited Iran, signaling a potential new phase in the conflict with Israel. The visits come amidst Ramadan unrest and on the eve of the six-month anniversary of the October 7 massacre. Iran aims to unite these groups in meetings to coordinate multiple fronts against Israel, potentially escalating tensions. Iran's annual "World Quds Day" on April 5 may further exacerbate the situation. Iran seeks to leverage recent events to create more successes in other arenas, viewing it as part of a larger war for the world order.
