The Islamic Republic of Iran is a key patron of the Palestinian militant organization Hamas, which rules the Gaza Strip. Iran provides Hamas funds, weapons, and training.

According to a 2020 U.S. State Department report, Iran provides about $100 million annually to Palestinian militant groups, including Hamas. As of 2023, according to an Israeli security source, Iran had significantly increased its funding for Hamas to $350 million a year.

2023 Israel–Hamas war‎

According to The Wall Street Journal, Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) worked with Hamas to plan its 7 October 2023 surprise attack on southern Israel and gave the green light for Hamas to launch the assault on a meeting in Beirut on 2 October. In the Hamas-led attack, Palestinian militants killed 1,200 Israelis, primarily civilians, and took around 200 Israeli civilians and soldiers hostage.

According to The Washington Post, the attack occurred "with key support from who provided military training and logistical help as well as tens of millions of dollars for weapons."
