FM reaffirms Iran’s support for Palestine

Amir Abdollahian made the remarks in a meeting with a group of political leaders and officials from Palestinian and Lebanese groups participating in the 33rd anniversary of Imam Khomeini's demise in Tehran.

Stressing that the issue of Palestine and Quds has a special and strategic position in Imam Khomeini's thought, he said that Imam Khomeini considered Palestine the first priority of the Islamic world.

He stressed that the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution also pays special attention to the issue of the liberation of Palestine and believes in the liberation of the entire Palestinian land from the occupation of the criminal Zionists.

Referring to Iran's full support for the Palestinian resistance, he noted that the Islamic Republic of Iran, despite all pressures, will not back down from its principled position.

We do not ignore the rights of the Iranian people in the negotiations, nor do we ignore the rights of the Muslim nation of Palestine.

He described the actions of some Islamic countries in establishing and normalizing relations with the Zionist regime as a betrayal of the Palestinian cause, saying that these countries would regret their actions.

He said that the basic solution to the Palestinian issue is the return of refugees and the holding a referendum among the original inhabitants of this land.

Meanwhile, Palestinian and Lebanese presented a report on the latest political developments in Palestine and Lebanon, expressed their views on the role of Imam Khomeini and the impact of the Islamic Revolution on the formation and victory of the Palestinian and Lebanese resistance and appreciated the Islamic Republic of Iran's support for the Palestinian and Lebanese resistance.
