Iran condemns Israeli aggression on Palestinians
Tehran: Iranian Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani on Sunday slammed the recent Israeli violence against Palestinians as an "inhumane act".
The Israelis have repeated such "criminal" acts against the Palestinians with the support of the United States, Larijani said.
On Friday, thousands of Palestinians started the first day of the Great March of Return, a month-long sit-in along the border fence between the Gaza Strip and Israel to demand the return of Palestinian refugees who were forced to leave their cities during the Arab-Israeli war in 1948.
On the day, the Israeli soldiers reportedly killed at least 15 Palestinian protesters and wounded about 1,000 others along the border fence.
Larijani described the Israeli policy of "creating tension" and US President Donald Trump's decision to move his country's embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem as plots orchestrated by Israel and Washington to undermine the region's security and stability.
"The terrorists ruling Tel Aviv only understand the language of force," he said, adding that only resistance can stop the "power-mad" regime of Israel.
Larijani urged Muslim countries to take the necessary measures and back the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people.

Bomb threat calls received for Mumbai airport, CSMT; both turn out to be hoaxes, say cops
Mumbai, Jul 25 (PTI): Police on Friday received a call threatening a bomb blast at Terminal 2 of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (CSMIA) though a thorough check of the facility did not reveal anything suspicious, an official said.
The call, which was received at the main control room of Mumbai police this afternoon, was classified as a hoax, he said.
"Another call was also received claiming the blast would take place at 6:15pm. A probe has found both calls were made by the same person. The process of registering a case is underway," the official said.
The control room of the railway police too received a call threatening a blast at Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus, though this too turned out to be a hoax after a round of intensive checking by the Bomb Detection and Disposal Squad (BDDS) and canine squad, another official said.
