Khalid Qaddoumi, also known as Khaled Qaddoumi or Khaled al-Qaddoumi, is a prominent Hamas figure serving as the group's longtime representative in Tehran, Iran
Born on October 8, 1970, in Jordan, Qaddoumi holds Jordanian nationality. He is male and primarily based in Tehran, where he maintains strong ties with Iranian leadership.
Qaddoumi acts as Hamas's key liaison to Iran. He advocated for the group's interests with Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei before Khamenei passed away. He serves as a public spokesperson for Hamas to Iranian and international media, often praising Iran's support including weapons provision.Â
Qaddoumi has joined Hamas delegations in high-level meetings with Iranian leaders to restore and strengthen ties after tensions during the Syrian civil war, when Iran briefly cut funding. In January 2016, he met Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif to discuss financial aid, though Hamas rejected full allegiance to Iran to avoid alienating Sunni states. During the May 2021 Israel-Hamas conflict, he credited Iran for arming Hamas and spoke at rallies calling for Israel's destruction.
Qaddoumi appeared in media interviews, such as a 2023 Dawn News discussion on the Israel-Hamas war. He faces international sanctions and is listed as a politically exposed person. In December 2025, he was noted at an anti-India rally in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK).
Khaled appeared on the Pakistan based Eon Podcast but that podcast episode was remove from YouTube.
