HYDERABAD: Iran’s president on Friday strongly criticised the Trump administration’s recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital and urged Muslims to support the Palestinian cause. Hassan Rouhani also lashed out at the United States for imposing a ban on travellers from six largely Muslim countries. He said India and Iran were cradles of Asian civilisation, and that this century and the next would belong to Asia. The uncertainty puts India in a difficult position with its growing ties with the United States. In 2016, India, Afghanis­tan and Iran decided to establish a trade route for land-locked Afghanistan and Central Asian countries.
