Iran strongly condemned US President Donald Trump's decision to recognise Jerusalem as the capital of Israel today, saying it threatened a "new intifada", or uprising.
"The provocative and unwise decision by the US... will provoke Muslims and inflame a new intifada and an escalation of radical, angry and violent behaviour," said the Iranian foreign ministry in a statement on its website.
