Despite denials from Iran, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas confirmed Sunday that he will be visiting Tehran for the first time since 2012. Speaking during a meeting with a delegation of Polish journalists in Ramallah, Abbas said, 'There will be a visit to Iran, but no date has been set.' Abbas said that Iran 'is a neighboring, sister country. Our relations with it were not good, but we have an embassy in Tehran, and therefore it recognizes us.'
