Trump reversed decades of U.S. policy by announcing the United States recognized Jerusalemas the capital of Israel and would move its embassy there.

Not a reversal. Implementing this move has been US policy for...well, decades.

Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said in a tweet the vote was a clear international rejection of the Trump administration’s “thuggish intimidation.”

And what is this vote, if not thuggish intimidation of its own? Sure it's a paper tiger, but it's one that Obama and Bush didn't have the balls to face.

The international community does not recognize Israeli sovereignty over the full city.

They don't have to; they can go on pretending the capital is Tel Aviv. What business is it of theirs what the US does?
