Khaled Meshaal, a senior leader of the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas, is to travel to the Iranian capital of Tehran soon, a senior Hamas member says.

Ahmed Yousef confirmed on Friday that Meshaal will travel to Tehran in less than a month, according to the Palestinian news agency Felestin al Yaum.

The official, who serves as a senior adviser to the Hamas government in Gaza, said that the trip is mainly aimed at improving the ties between Iran and Hamas.

Yousef said that Hamas leaders have held numerous meetings with Iranian officials over the issue and preparations will soon be made for Mehsaal’s visit to country.

Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian announced in late December 2014 that Meshaal is set to visit Iran, but did not declare a date for the visit. The senior Iranian diplomat also downplayed rumors about the suspension of ties between Iran and Hamas, saying “relations between Hamas and the Islamic Republic of Iran have never been cut.”

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan will pay a visit to Iran in the near future, Iran's Communications and Information Technology Minister Mahmoud Vaezi said Feb.3.

Vaezi, who is the co-chairs the Iran-Turkey Joint Commission for Economic Co-operation said bilateral trade between two countries is $15 billion, but both sides are keen to double that.

Iran and Turkey's presidents have met four times since mid-2013, when President Hassan Rouhani took office.

"Iran wants to increase the number of common banks and banking relations with Turkey," Vaezi added. Hmmm......What would be the odds for the Hamas leadership to visit Iran as well as Erdogan at the same time?
