TEHRAN (Defapress) - In a message on X, Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Esmail Baghaei condemned the statements of US Ambassador to the occupied territories, Mike Huckabee, that the Zionist regime’s seizure of Arab-Islamic lands “from the Nile to the Euphrates” is permissible.

Referring to the statement issued by the Secretariat of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation on this matter, the Foreign Ministry spokesman emphasized: The Islamic Republic of Iran, in unison with the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, condemns these “extreme ideological rhetorics”; statements that embolden the occupying regime in its continued crimes against the Palestinians and continuous aggressions against countries in the region.

Earlier, US Ambassador to occupied Palestine, Mike Huckabee, had claimed: Israel has the right to dominate the region from the Euphrates to the Nile.
