Professor Mohammad Marandi, a member of Iran's negotiating team, claimed Friday that the Moroccan operation in the Spanish enclave of Ceuta is a tool of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and US President Donald Trump to punish Spain for its support of Palestine. Marandi's statement, reported by the Arab world outlet Abu Ali Express, characterizes the Moroccan regime as 'merely another tool in the hands of Netanyahu and Trump.' The Iranian negotiator, who has previously commented on US-Iran talks and regional dynamics, offered no evidence for the claim. The comment comes amid ongoing tensions between Morocco and Spain over Ceuta, a disputed territory. The claim is unverified.
