Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian and his Syrian counterpart, Faisal Mekdad, have reiterated their countries’ absolute determination to resolve the problems in the region, vowing to respond to Israel’s threats and confront the regime’s aggression.
Faraan: Amir-Abdollahian and Mekdad made the remarks in a joint press conference held at the Syrian capital of Damascus on Saturday night as the two top diplomats discussed bilateral relations, regional issues, counterterrorism efforts, and measures to confront Israeli assaults.
“We discussed issues of common interest between the two countries and ways of enhancing permanent and long-term cooperation to serve the people of the two countries,” Amir-Abdollahian said. Underlining Syria’s territorial integrity, Amir-Abdollahian said Syria is at the forefront of the fight against the fake and occupying Israeli regime, adding that the Syrian government, leadership, and people will not allow the Zionists to compromise the regional security as well as the security of their country.
“We continue to offer unwavering support for the resistance to ensure lasting security in the region against the threats posed by the fake Israeli regime,” the top Iranian diplomat added. Amir-Abdollahian condemned the Israeli aggression against Syria and stressed that “Iran will continue supporting Syria to counter the terrorist war it has been facing,” vowing the Islamic Republic’s support for the unity, integrity, and safety of the Syrian territory.
“There is no doubt that the relations between Iran and Syria are strategic,” Amir-Abdollahian said. “We proudly announce that the Islamic Republic of Iran has never and will never leave its friends and allies alone in difficult times. In an earlier meeting with the representatives of Palestinian resistance groups, Amir-Abdollahian said, “Whenever we wished, we have responded to the Zionist regime in Tel Aviv.”
