Iranian foreign ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei denounced US President Donald Trump's idea of moving Palestinians out of the Gaza Strip, stressing that the territory was their "homeland."
"Political coercion and demographic manipulation will not be able to force Palestinians to migrate," the spokesperson said on X.
The Gaza Strip is the "homeland of the Palestinians" and "they have paid an extremely high price to remain there," Baghaei said.
Separately, Iran’s supreme leader, Ali Khamenei, said Gaza has brought Israel “to its knees” with the ceasefire.
“The small, limited Gaza brought the Zionist regime, armed to the teeth and fully supported by America, to its knees,” Khamenei said during a meeting with officials in Tehran.
