Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf says the Israeli regime was founded on genocide and aggression and its survival depends on perpetrating such heinous acts.

Iran's Parliament speaker has called on Muslim countries to take a “serious” stance against the recurring desecration of the Holy Qur’an.

“Iran and Serbia enjoy very good and coordinated positions at the international level.” Speaker Qalibaf said.

Iran says the sacrilegious move by a French publication against the Islamic Republic’s top religious authority is out of desperation and indicates the West’s fury at the failure of the recent foreign-backed riots in the country.
