It should come as no surprise that Ismail Haniyeh, the political leader of Hamas, attended the funeral of Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi in Tehran on May 22. His brazen eulogy for Raisi, public meeting with Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, and praise for the Oct. 7, 2023, terrorist attacks on Israel were reminders of the ironclad links between Hamas and an Iranian regime desperate to breed perpetual chaos in the Middle East.

To dismantle these ties between Hamas and the Iranian regime, the Biden administration must end its misguided attempts at accommodation with Iran and recommit to the security of our allies and partners in the region. President Joe Biden should also make clear that the United States supports a free and fair Iranian presidential election.
