In a message marking Nakba Day (the catastrophe) of the Palestinian people, Iran once again emphasized that the right of return for Palestinian refugees is non-negotiable. Tehran declared it will continue to support the just struggle of the Palestinian people until full justice is achieved.
Nakba Day commemorates the events of 1948, when hundreds of thousands of Palestinians were forced to flee their homes and lands following the establishment of the state of Israel. The event left more than 700,000 refugees, and millions of their descendants still live in refugee camps across the Middle East.
According to diplomatic sources, Iran's statement comes amid rising tensions in the Middle East. Tehran called on the international community to act to protect the legitimate rights of Palestinians, especially the right to return to their ancestral homeland.
Analysts suggest this move by Iran is part of a broader diplomatic strategy to affirm Tehran's role in Palestinian affairs while strengthening ties with Muslim nations in the region. Meanwhile, the Israeli government continues to reject any claims to the right of return, viewing it as a threat to the Jewish character of the state.
