Reuters - U.S. President Donald Trump�s statement in favor of recognizing Israel�s sovereignty over the occupied Golan Heights is unacceptable, an Iranian foreign ministry spokesman said on Friday, cited by state TV.

�This illegal and unacceptable recognition does not change the fact that it belongs to Syria,� spokesman Bahram Qasemi said.
