US, Israel seek to dampen Palestinian issue

Iranian Defense Minister, Brigadier Hossein Dehghan says the public Iranian force has created deterrence against the Zionist regime, citing massive presence of the Iranian people in the Quds day marches.

“There is no need to arms in the face of the Zionist regime,” he told the Qods news agency on the sideline of the Quds day marches in Tehran.

The defense minister said the people showed they are conscious about Zionist conspiracies in the region, including their conspiracy to undercut the Palestinian issue through promoting the ISIL terror group.

US and Israel seek to drop the Palestinian issue from the regional priority agenda, the defense minister said, adding the massive marches showed they have failed.
