Iran: Palestinians have right to repel Zionist occupation

Tehran– Iran says the Palestinian people have the right to use their power to repel 75 years of occupation by the Zionist entity.

The resistant people of Palestine have the right to use their power to remove the aggression and repel the occupation by a regime that has violated their rights for 75 years, and this is a legitimate right that has been recognized,” Foreign Ministry spokesman Nasser Kanaani said at a press conference on Monday.

Referring to the ongoing developments in Palestine, Kanaani said important developments are happening in the occupied territories. He warned of efforts by the supporters of the Zionist entity, chief among them the United States, to change the place of the oppressor and the oppressed through their propaganda war.

They are ignoring the crimes of the occupying regime while leveling accusations against the innocent people of Palestine, he said.

“Fortunately, at this stage, we are witnessing the support of a significant number of countries in the world, especially Islamic countries, (for Palestine),” Kanaani noted.

“Iran had and has a clear position, and in recent days, the president and the foreign minister expressed their positions at the highest level and shared their views with foreign officials, and we hope that Islamic countries will be more resolute in supporting the Palestinian people,” he added.

Kanaani pointed to accusations against Iran on the recent developments in Palestine, saying that the Palestinian people’s resistance enjoys the capability and determination to defend itself as well as to protect its own rights by relying on its own might.

According to the spokesman, leveling accusations against Iran is being done with a political objective to justify the recent failure of the Zionist entity and, of course, in a bid to justify the West’s support for the entity.

Claiming contribution of the Islamic Republic of Iran and Lebanon’s Hezbollah to the Palestinian-Israeli war cannot reduce the responsibility of the West, particularly the US, in supporting the atrocities of the Zionist entity at all, he said, adding that the propaganda is being disseminated to divert public opinion and justify their future plots.

The dispatch of the United States aircraft carrier to the region amounts to Washington’s involvement in the violation of the rights of the Palestinian people and the crimes that are being committed by the Zionist entity, he argued.
