Iran’s Foreign Ministry has vehemently condemned illegal Israeli settlers’ recent desecration of the Holy Quran in the occupied West Bank.
Spokesman Nasser Kan’ani made the remarks in a tweet on Friday after a group of settlers stormed the village of Urif south of the city of Nablus in the northern West Bank.
The attackers then forced their way into a local mosque and vandalized it before ripping the pages of a copy of the Muslim holy book and throwing it into the street.
Such acts of sacrilege as well as Zionists’ destruction of Palestinian-owned structures and their daily carnage of defenseless Palestinian people, including women and children, “shows that the bogus [Israeli] regime recognizes no redlines in transgression upon and violation of religious sanctities and the human rights,” Kan’ani tweeted.
