Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian and his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin have discussed the latest developments in Syria vowing support for Syria in amid the resurgence of the terrorist groups in the Arab countries.
In a phone conversation on Monday, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian and his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, discussed the unfolding security situation in Syria following the Israeli-engineered terrorist offensive in the country.
They warned that the recent terrorist moves in Syria pose a serious threat to stability and security of the Arab nation and the entire region.
Pezeshkian said a ceasefire agreement between the Lebanese resistance movement Hezbollah and Israel created a glimmer of hope for peace in the region but the terrorist moves in Syria, supported by the Israeli regime, “once again put the region on alert.”
He added that the resurgence of terrorism in Syria would spread insecurity and conflict in the region.
“We believe that the recent incidents are part of a dangerous plan by the US and the Zionist regime to disrupt the region's political geography in favor of the Zionists,” the Iranian president said.
He, however, emphasized that such plots would be thwarted through unity and cooperation among the regional countries.
Pezeshkian commended Russia’s role in maintaining regional peace and stability and its support for Syria’s territorial integrity and expressed Tehran’s readiness to improve cooperation with Moscow in this regard.
For his part, Putin said Russia agrees with Iran that the continuation of terrorist moves in northern Syria would undermine the country’s national sovereignty and territorial integrity and endanger regional security.
He added that supporters of the terrorists are causing the ongoing incidents in Syria and expressed Russia’s firm determination to cooperate with Iran to help the Syrian government fight the terrorist groups.
He noted that Russia would make use of its utmost capacities and the existing diplomatic channels to prevent the spread of terrorism in the region.
On November 27, terror outfits, led by the Hay’at Tahrir al-Shams (HTS), launched their largest attack in Syria in years, taking control of parts of Aleppo, and advancing southward on the city of Hama.
