RNA - "The plan dubbed as the deal of the century will yield no results because of ignoring the facts of Palestine,” Amir Abdollahian said in a meeting with Swiss Ambassador to Tehran Marcus Leitner in Tehran on Sunday.
The senior aide to Iran's parliament speaker, meantime, pointed to the bilateral agreements signed between Tehran and Bern during a recent visit by Iranian President Hassan Rouhani to Switzerland, and said, "It is time to witness improvement of parliamentary relations between the two sides, given the regional and international conditions and good relations between Tehran and Bern."
Amir Abdollahian underlined that the Iranian parliament is ready to work more actively to further expand parliamentary cooperation between the two countries.
The Swiss ambassador, for his part, described President Rouhani's recent visit to Switzerland as positive and fruitful event, and said, "We have great deal of potentials to improve the level of relations between the two countries."
Leitner reiterated that the Swiss parliament supports the development of parliamentary relations with Iran, and said, "I hope we can consolidate parliamentary relations at the same time as political relations."
"Currently, no one wants to increase tension in the region and the world, and the parties involved should avoid provocative actions,” he added while referring to international and regional developments.
In relevant remarks earlier in July, Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei underlined that the US dreams to implement the 'deal of the century' plot in the Palestinian territories would never come true, stressing that Quds would remain the Palestinians' capital forever.
"Now, the Americans have named their satanic policy on Palestine as the deal of the century and with God's help, this deal of the century will never be materialized and despite the American statesmen's desire, the Palestinian issue will not be forgotten and Quds will remain as the Palestinians' capital," Ayatollah Khamenei said, addressing officials of the Hajj and Pilgrimage Organization in Tehran.
According to Fars News Agancy, he blasted certain Muslim governments for assisting Washington in implementing its plots against the region, and said, "The Islamic Ummah and the Palestinian nation will gain victory against their enemies and will see the day when the fake Zionist regime will be uprooted in the Palestinian territories."
In relevant remarks in September 2015, Ayatollah Khamenei described Israel as a "fake" regime, and said there would not be any Israel in 25 years from now.
"Some of the Zionists have said that given the results of the nuclear negotiations (between Tehran and the world powers), they have been relieved of concerns about Iran for 25 years, but we tell them that basically, you will not see the next 25 years and with God's grace, nothing under the name of the Zionist regime will exist in the region by then," Ayatollah Khamenei said, addressing a large number of Iranians in Tehran.
He added that the heroic spirit and morale of Muslim fighters would not let the Zionists feel comfort and tranquility in the next 25 years.
