Palestine, Iran’s top diplomat Javad Zarif wrote on his Twitter page Thursday, the eve of International Al-Quds Day, is a “yardstick for justice”, reaffirming his country’s continued and unwavering support for the resistance axis.
Zarif’s words are an echo of what the founder of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Rohullah Khomeini and his worthy successor Ayatollah Sayyed Ali Khamenei have asserted in no unequivocal terms – describing the fight to liberate Palestine an ‘Islamic duty’.
