The resistance put up by the Palestinian nation will soon force the United States to reverse its decision on the relocation of its embassy from Tel Aviv to the holy city of Al-Quds, said a senior official.
"The clock is ticking against the Zionist regime. Time will tell in the near future that the resistance of Palestinians will not allow the presence of the US Embassy in Beit-ul-Moqaddas," Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, the parliament speaker's special advisor on international affairs said, ISNA reported on Sunday.
He expressed Iran's support for the oppressed Palestinians and criticized the "destructive" regional policies of the United States, which as usual backed Israel during the past week's deadly violence in Gaza.
In the bloodiest day in Gaza in years, Israeli security forces killed 60 plus unarmed Palestinians and injured more than 2,700 on May 14 during demonstrations against the opening of the American Embassy in Beit-ul-Moqaddas (Jerusalem), which the US last year officially recognized as Israel's capital.
The US decision and Israel’s use of deadly force have drawn worldwide concern and condemnation. The UN Human Rights Council on Friday voted to set up a probe into the killings of innocent civilians in Gaza and accused the occupying power of excessive use of force.
Fomenting Crisis
"US policy is to create and foment crisis, instability and insecurity in the region," Amir-Abdollahian said, accusing the country and its allies of providing financial and logistical support to terrorist groups.
He said the humanitarian crisis in war-torn Yemen was sparked by the military intervention of a US-backed coalition led by Saudi Arabia and called for the resolution of the conflict in the impoverished Arab country through political means.
US President Donald Trump's disregard for international law and commitments, which was visibly demonstrated in his withdrawal from the Iran nuclear agreement, undermines efforts to promote peace and stability in the world, the former deputy foreign minister said.
Trump announced on May 8 that he was pulling the US out of the landmark international agreement over Iran's nuclear activities and would reimpose a wide array of sanctions against the country.
