[TEHRAN - Muslim nations are now more determined than ever in their efforts to liberate all of the occupied territories, including occupied holy Qods, according to Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast.
Mehmanparast made the remarks in an interview with IRNA on Wednesday, two days ahead of International Qods Day, which will be observed on August 26.
International Qods Day is a day of solidarity with Palestine observed on the last Friday of the holy month of Ramadan. Anti-Zionist demonstrations are held on Qods Day all over the world, especially in Iran, where the event was inaugurated after the 1979 Islamic Revolution. The late Imam Khomeini, the Founder of the Islamic Republic, made the proposal to establish an international day of solidarity with Palestinians in August of that year.]
[Iran has tightened noose around Israel
In his statement, Ayatollah Mahdavi Kani said that the Iranian nation has isolated the Zionist regime in the international arena and has tightened the noose around it.
He also called on the Iranian people and other Muslims across the world to turn out in large numbers for the demonstrations to express their wrath over the despicable actions of the United States, Britain, and the Zionist regime.]
