Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei on Wednesday said that his country will support Palestinian armed groups as much as it can as a part of a plan to confront US plan for Israeli-Palestinian peace.
“We believe that Palestinian armed organizations will stand and continue resistance and the Islamic Republic sees supporting Palestinian groups as its duty,” Khamenei said in a speech carried on his website.
“So, it will support them however it can and as much as it can and this support is the desire of the Islamic system and the Iranian nation,” he added.
Iran has previously vowed to crush a plan by US for Israeli and Palestinian conflict resolution.
Khamenei has called the plan earlier this week, a “Satanic” plan and said, “Jerusalem must not remain in the hand of Jews.”
