Foreign Ministry spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast stressed the firm will of the Muslim nations in pursuing the goal of liberation of Quds.
In an exclusive interview with IRNA on Wednesday, he referred to the wave of the Islamic vigilance in the Middle East and North Africa and said the Muslim nations now are more determined to seriously resist against the Zionist regime and help liberate the holy Quds.

He said the regional developments in the past months are indeed movements towards independence of the regional states, participation of people in determining their own destiny and stopping reliance on big powers and the supporters of the illegitimate Zionist regime.

The spokesman further stressed that this wave of public uprisings which is inspired by the grand Islamic Revolution in Iran will naturally follow its due course until the Muslim nations in the region achieve their ideals.

Describing the issue of Palestine and the holy Quds as one of the most serious ones in the Middle East, he noted that the Zionist regime, supported by big powers in the region and enjoying their backing for its aggressive acts, thought the situation was quite apt for it to pursue its objectives in the region but now sees that the regional dictatorships are toppled one after another.

Mehmanparast expressed confidence that the Quds rallies will be staged with further zeal and enthusiasm across the world this year amid situation in which the Zionist regime is suffering from an ever growing worries about the public movements in the Middle East and North Africa.

The diplomat went on to stress the importance of unity in the Islamic world including among the Palestinian groups and said the Islamic Republic of Iran has repeatedly cautioned the regional countries and other Islamic states against any divergences which would only benefit the enemies especially the Zionist regime.

He said the recent Zionist attacks on Gaza, the West Bank and the Egyptian border guides were due to the fact that the Zionists were caught in a harsh situation where they saw a dark perspective in front of them because of the failure of their plans.

Mehmanparast reiterated that the mass participation of Muslim nations in Quds day rallies will further lower the morale of the Zionist occupiers and encourage all oppressed nations, the Palestinian nation in particular, to seriously resist against the bullying policies of the Zionist regime.

End.
