Iran votes to declare Jerusalem 'capital of Palestine'
The Hill, Dec 27, 2017, Olivia Beavers

Iran declared Jerusalem the "capital of Palestine" on Wednesday following a parliamentary vote, according to the country's semi-official Fars news agency.

Iran's announcement to recognize the holy city as the “Palestinian capital forever” comes in direct response to President Trump's decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.

“It comes in response to the recent U.S. decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital in hopes of dealing a blow to Muslims,” said Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani, according to Turkey's Anadolu news agency.

“Palestinian capital forever”


Leave it up to these clowns to vote on a measure sounding like something a 12 year old would spray paint on the western wall.

Wonder if they put a heart around it?

Only the state of Palestine can designate what its capital is, not some foreign entity.

Iran is a goofball.
