Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif described the city of al-Quds as an indispensable part of Palestine that belongs to Muslims and would not be up for sale.
"Al-Quds belongs to Muslims and people of Palestine, and nobody has a right to cede the Qibla of Muslims to Americans and the zionist regime or to take any other action damaging the aspiration of the Palestinian nation," Zarif told reporters while attending a rally in Tehran in commemoration of the International Quds Day on Friday.
"The message of (rallies) today is that al-Quds is not up for sale," the top Iranian diplomat underscored, stressing that neither the US nor the zionist regime can have a claim on the Palestinian city.
Each year, the International Quds Day is celebrated on the last Friday of the Islamic holy month of Ramadan.
The event’s raison d'être is renewing support for the Palestinians and denunciation of zionists.
