Iran envoy: Israel afraid of Quds Day

Any diplomatic or non-diplomatic measure can not frighten Israel as much as the Quds Day, Iran’s ambassador to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) says.

Hamid-Reza Asefi said that the Quds Day, named by the founder of Iran’s Islamic Revolution Imam Khomeini, has deeply affected the Islamic world’s relations with arrogant powers.

“By their glorious presence [in the Quds Day rally], the Muslims of the world will tell the oppressed nation of Palestine that they are still beside the Palestinian people and ideals,” Fars news agency quoted Asefi as saying on Thursday.

The Quds Day, as the founder of the Islamic Republic declared, is “not only focused on Quds, but is also a day of confrontation between the oppressed and the oppressors.”

It is marked on the last Friday of the holy month of Ramadan, which coincides with September 3 this year.
