Summary
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Friday called the mass murder of Jews by the Nazis a fairy tale and urged continued resistance against Israel's Zionist regime. The Holocaust is a false claim, a fairy tale, used as a pretext for crimes against humanity, the Iranian president said. Speaking at an annual Quds day rally, he told Iranians that confronting the 'Zionist regime' was a 'national and religious duty'. He said Iran would never stop opposing Israel and would urge other Muslim states to join Iran against Israel. It is our national, religious and Islamic duty to continue confronting the Zionist regime as this regime has threatened the national security of all regional states, the president said.
