Iran Press/Iran news: Exercise patience, study and learn that history is full of facts that no power will ever be able to erase or change, Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Bahram Ghassemi told ISNA on Saturday in reaction to Pence's accusations.
Ghassemi said Iran's historical and cultural record of coexistence and respect for divine religions, particularly Judaism, was recorded in reliable historical documents of various nations.
He added that Iran's ancient history and civilization clearly proved the Iranian people's respect for other cultures and followers of different divine religions.
The Iranian spokesperson emphasized that the underlying principle of the Islamic Republic's foreign policy was based on opposing the aggressive and occupying nature of the fake and illegitimate Zionist regime of Israel which is a killing machine against Palestinian people.
The Tel Aviv regime is the reason behind discord and division among regional countries and the root cause of costly crises and tensions in the Middle East, he pointed out.
