Iranian Student Organization: Hamas a Terrorist Group

The Iranian daily Kargozaran reported that the student union Daftar-e Tahkim-e Vahdat (Teif-Alameh), while condemning the Israeli attack on Gaza, also condemned Hamas, calling it "a terrorist group... that uses children and hospitals as human shields." In response, the daily Kayhan and the news agency IRNA condemned the both student union and Kargozaran, which has been issued a closing order by the Iranian authorities, calling them "traitors" and "collaborators with Israel."
