Iranian Foreign Ministry condemned burning an old church in Holy Quds by Zionists.

“The Islamic Republic of Iran regards the recent provocative measure of Zionists in desecrating an old church in occupied Quds as another evidence of Zionist regime’s insult to divine religions and religious,” said Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast.

“Zionist regime has already shown that it does not respect divine sources and its followers with desecrating religious sites of Muslims, Christians and al-Aqsa Holy Mosque.”

He called for the international community to denounce the Zionist measure and take steps to stop such insulting actions.

A group of extremist Jewish settlers set fire to a one hundred year old Christian church in holy Quds on Friday causing substantial damage to its first floor.
