After 52 years it is time for the United States to fully recognize Israel’s Sovereignty over the Golan Heights, which is of critical strategic and security importance to the State of Israel and Regional Stability!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 21, 2019
Since Trump made his decision - first announced on Twitter - and his declaration - signed a ratified a few days later - 14 out of 15 United Nations Security Council member states condemned the move.
Hassan Rohani said President Donald Trump's decision this week is "trampling on international regulations about the Golan," adding "Iranians too should resist and that way gain victory" over the U.S. and Israel.
