Palestinian issue, topmost agenda of IRI

A former Iranian vice president says the Palestinian issue has been the topmost agenda of the Islamic Republic since its advent in 1979.

Mohammad Reza Mirtajoddini was speaking to the Qods News Agency (Qodsna) in Tehran.

Tajoddini touched on the opening of Palestinian embassy in Tehran as first foreign embassy in the Islamic Republic and said the move shows how the issue is rooted in the Islamic revolutionary foreign policy agenda.

The former vice president said the Palestinian issue may serve as a unifying factor for the Muslim community amid the current regional crises.
