Iranian legislations voted 207-0 in favor of the bill on Wednesday, the Iranian government’s semi-official Fars News Agency reported. There are 290 members of the parliament, or Majlis.
The vote is a response to President Donald Trump’s announcement earlier this month that the United States will recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital. The Palestinians claim eastern Jerusalem as the capital of a future Palestinian state. The Western Wall and the Temple Mount, the holiest sites in Judaism, are located in eastern Jerusalem.
Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani told the Parliament that Trump made the announcement “in hopes of dealing a blow to Muslims,” the Turkish Andalou news agency reported.
hey you Iranians – THERE IS NO PALESTINE AND WILL NEVER BE – so stop dreaming
Waiting to see a UN resolution against Iran 😉
Will the world be condemning this?
I thought Amman is the capital of Palestine.
That’s the country adjacent to Israel with an over 75% Palestinian population.
Shocking. Iran, pro palestine?
Gosh Bibi was right. Countries are moving their embassies to Jerusalem. Imagine that.
Do they think to make palestine a part of the iranian caliphate?just as turkey wants the same. Let them kill each other till the last man.
HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! ……………..HO! HO! HO!
This headline should be the #1 hysterical headline, even superceding the famous ‘Headless Body Found in Topless Joint’
They just went against a UN declaration that they themselves voted in favor of just a few days ago.
