Iran says US President-elect Donald Trump must end the war in Gaza, where Israel, which the Islamic Republic has sworn to destroy, has been battling the Hamas terror group for more than a year.

Foreign ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei says during a news conference in Tehran that the incoming American president should “stop the continued genocide” in the Gaza Strip.
