Palestinians attend anniversary of US downing of Iranian plane

 
Tehran, Qodsna - Families of the victims of war in Gaza have been invited to the ceremony which was held at the Iranian capital’s Palestine Square, according to the Islamic Development Coordination Council of Tehran.
 
When the US Navy fired missiles at Iran's passenger plane on July 3, 1988, all 290 people on board were killed.
 
Member of the Islamic Development Coordination Council, Mohsen Mahmoudi, described the ceremony as an opportunity to express solidarity with and support Palestine.
 
In the past nine months, nearly 38,000 Palestinians, mostly women and children, have been martyred in Gaza during the war in the enclave that started in October 2023.
 
Since then, the Iranian officials have over and over again extended support for the Palestinians, condemned the Zionist regime’s crimes in Gaza, and urged the international community to compel the regime to cease its aggression.
