Iran's supreme leader: Trump's Jerusalem plan a sign of incompetence, failure
[The Hill] Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, on Wednesday referred to President Trump's plans to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel as a sign of "incompetence and failure."
"That they claim they want to announce Jerusalem as the capital of occupied Palestine is because of their incompetence and failure," Khamenei told various Iranian officials according to his official website in comments reported by Reuters.
"The issue of Palestine today is at the top of the political issues for Muslims and everyone is obligated to work and struggle for the freedom and salvation of the people of Palestine," he continued.
Iran has long supported its Shia Muslim allies in the Palestinian territories.
