Iranian president-elect's comments on Israel distorted: report

>

"News agencies distort Iran pres-elect Rohani's remarks on Quds Day," said a breaking news caption on Press TV. There were no further details.

Earlier on Friday, Iranian news agencies reported that cleric Rouhani - who will be inaugurated on Sunday - had described the Zionist regime as "a wound that has sat on the body of the Muslim world for years and needs to be removed".
