President Hassan Rouhani has reassured Syria of Iran’s steadfast support for the Arab nation both on the battlefield against terrorists and the diplomatic front.

“Iran’s support for the Syrian people will last until ultimate victory,” he told top Syrian parliamentarian Hadiya Khalaf Abbas in Tehran.

Rouhani said “Iran will stand by the Syrian people against terrorism and support the upcoming talks” between Damascus and opposition groups, which will be held under the United Nations auspices in Geneva on February 23.

The Iranian president further hailed the Syrian government’s advances against terrorist groups.
The gains, he said, have even worked to positively affect foreign governments’ view of the developments in Syria, adding that they now feel that they must accept the realities on the ground in the Arab state.

At Damascus’ request, Iran has been lending military advisory support to the Syrian Army in its efforts to combat Takfiri terrorists. The Islamic Republic has also been providing the country with humanitarian assistance.

The support, together with backing from Russia, another ally of Syria, has played an instrumental role in the Syrian army’s gains against Takfiri militants on several fronts.

Besides military advisory support, Iran, along with Russia and Turkey, has mediated two rounds of crisis resolution talks between the Syrian government and opposition groups in Astana, Kazakhstan, over the past weeks.
