A Press release on the ongoing situation in occupied Palestinian territories

The government of the Islamic Republic of Iran's official position on the current developments in occupied Palestine is as follows: 

1. “Operation Al-Aqsa Flood” is a spontaneous move by the resistance groups and the oppressed Palestinian people in defense of their inalienable and undeniable rights.
2. The oppressed Palestinian people’s inalienable right to defend themselves, their land, and their sanctities against occupation, aggression, daily violations, and organized terror on the part of the Zionist regime is a natural and legitimate right in line with all recognized international standards and the fundamental principles of international law.
3. The Islamic Republic of Iran stands firmly behind the aspirations of the Palestinian people and supports the efforts of oppressed Palestinians in their unwavering pursuit of their inherent and indisputable rights against occupation and aggression. This support is fully consistent with international law and the UN Charter, including the principle of the right to self-determination. This will be Iran’s principled position until the occupation ends.
4. This operation is the Palestinians’ natural reaction to the war-mongering, provocative, and incendiary policies of the Zionists, especially the usurping regime’s extremist and adventurous prime minister. The continuation of the desecration of Islam’s holy sites and the first Qibla of Muslims by extremist and racist Zionists in recent months and weeks, and the persistence of the Zionist regime's policy of killing, committing crimes, and acts of aggression against the oppressed Palestinian people, especially women, children and Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails amid the silence and inaction of the international community and the so-called human rights defenders have left the Palestinian nation and resistance no way but to resist and rely on their inherent strength in the face of the Zionists.
5. The Embassy of the Islamic Republic of Iran in the Philippines reaffirms the inherent and legal right of Palestinians to defend themselves vis-à-vis the crimes of the usurpers of Palestine that have been going on for 75 years. Iran also holds the Zionist occupiers and their supporters responsible for the continuation and escalation of violence and atrocities against the Palestinians. The Islamic Republic of Iran calls on all independent and democratic countries to support the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people.
