After a two-year cessation, Iran is attempting to bring Islamic Jihad back into its fold by renewing financial support for the Palestinian terror organization, sources affiliated with the organization told the London-based daily Arab newspaper a-Sharq al-Awsat on Wednesday.
Iran’s decision to re-embrace Islamic Jihad after two years of strained relations, came following a visit to Iran in April by a high-level delegation from the organization, led by Islamic Jihad leader Ramadan Shalah.
During his meetings with senior Iranian leaders and the commander of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard’s Quds Force Qassem Suleimani, Shalah lauded Iran for its exclusive support for the “Palestinian intifada.”
“The defense of Palestine amounts to a defense of Islam,” Shalah said then, adding that: “The Arab states did not support the popular uprising in Palestine and will never support it since it contradicts their leaders’ agendas.

The major part of Iran’s new vision for the Palestinian terror organization was Suleimani’s decision to conduct a reshuffle in the organization’s military wing, the Quds Brigades, by appointing Khaled Mansour as the brigades’ commander.
Mansour, a crony of the Iranian leadership, is one of the senior commanders of the Quds Brigades and he is highly regarded in the Islamic Jihad….
