"We congratulate you for declaring that you will not set your weapons aside and for describing it as your redline," Velayati said in a meeting with Deputy Head of Hamas political bureau Saleh al-Arouri in Tehran on Saturday.
Velayati underlined that he welcomes meeting with the resistance groups' officials, specially Hamas, on any occassion.
A high-ranking Hamas delegation began a visit to Iran on Friday to inform Tehran about reconciliation efforts with rival Palestinian faction Fatah, a Hamas official said.
The group led by al-Arouri will meet senior Iranian officials over the next several days, the representative said on condition of anonymity.
The two Palestinians factions have agreed a landmark deal to end a decade-long split and are seeking to form a unity government along with other parties.
