TEHRAN: A senior Iranian cleric called during Friday prayers for Palestinians to "rage" against Israel after US President Donald Trump declared Jerusalem as the capital of the Jewish state.
After the prayers Iranians took to the streets of Tehran and other cities to protest against Trump´s decision, calling for "death" to Israel and the United States and burning their flags. Ayatollah Ahmad Khatami, a key leader of the main weekly Muslim prayers, said Trump had drawn a line on years of peace efforts by recognising Jerusalem as Israel´s capital.
"He proved that the cure for the issue of Palestine is only, only, an intifada (uprising)," Khatami, who was appointed by Iranian supreme leader Ali Khamenei, said in his sermon at Mosalla, Tehran´s largest mosque. "Only intifadas can turn day into a dark night for the Zionist regime," he said. He urged the Palestinian people to rise and "rage against this occupying regime". "Any damage that you can incur to this occupying and criminal regime will mean you have taken a step towards pleasing God," he said.Trump´s declaration has triggered a global diplomatic backlash, with several world leaders warning the move could spark fresh unrest in an already volatile region. Iranian state broadcaster showed thousands of people protesting after the Friday prayers in Tehran and other cities. Protestors chanted "death to the America", "death to Israel" and "death to England", and torched American and Israeli flags. They also held up signs that read "Al-Quds is ours" and "We stand against Israel to the end".
