Tehran, Oct 15, IRNA -- Foreign Ministry Spokesman Hamid Reza Asefi said here Tuesday that Iran favors the establishment of a Palestinian state on all Palestinian territories.
Tehran believes that there is no other way to ensure the Palestinian interest as well as restoration of peace in the region, Asefi told IRNA.
On Iran's reaction to the possibility that the Palestinians may opt for establishing a Palestinian state next to Israel, he said "if the Palestinians should chose a solution other than the one preferred by Tehran, then Iran will not try to prevent it."
Meanwhile, Iranian lawmakers here last week condemned the US President George W. Bush for endorsing a legislation that recognized Beit-ul-Moqaddas as the capital of the racist-Zionist Regime, calling on Washington to nullify the approval.
Some 220 Iranian parliamentarians in a statement urged international organizations including the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) and Islamic Inter-Parliamentary Union (IIPU), as well as the UN Security Council to condemn the US move and to adopt proper measures to prevent the law from going in effect.
The MPs called on the US to apologize to the world and the Palestinian nation and to help restore calm in the Middle East region and other parts of the world by abandoning its hostile behavior.
A law was recently signed by the US President George W. Bush, a part of which called on Washington to move its embassy in the Zionist state of Israel from Tel Aviv to Beit-ul-Moqaddas.
