RNA - "This big strategic mistake has further bolstered solidarity of the Islamic Ummah," General Gheibparvar told Fars News on the sidelines of the International Quds Day rallies in Tehran on Friday.

He also referred to the US withdrawal from the 2015 nuclear deal with Iran, and said this enmity has increased the Iranian people's motivation to participate in the Quds Day rallies more massively than the past.

Millions of Iranians from all walks of life took to city streets all over the country to show their full and everlasting support for the oppressed Palestinian nation against Israeli occupation and aggressions, specially its recent massacre of the Palestinians in Gaza.

People in large groups of tens of thousands in Tehran and other cities across the country converged in main city squares on the International Quds Day on Friday to condemn Israeli occupation and its recent massacre of Palestinian demonstrators in the Great March of Return as well as those who were protesting against the US move to transfer its embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem al-Quds.
