Iran's president says his country will resist the Trump administration's acceptance of Israel's control over the Golan Heights.
Hassan Rouhani said on Friday that President Donald Trump's decision this week is "trampling on international regulations about the Golan."
Rouhani says Iranians too "should resist and that way gain victory" over the U.S. and Israel.

Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said Thursday the U.S. decision is a reminder to Arab and Muslim countries that U.S. and Israel "will steal your lands."
Iran doesn't recognize Israel and supports Syria and anti-Israeli militant groups like Hamas and Lebanese's Hezbollah.
