“We plan to restart operations at the embassy immediately. Additionally, they have assured us of their readiness and guaranteed the safety of the embassy,” Iranian ambassador to Damascus said in an interview on Sunday.

Hossein Akbari said, “We also transferred the staff people to Beirut for two to three days to ensure their security and prevent any possible damage. God willing, the embassy will resume its activities soon,” he said.

Akbari stated that before Hayʼat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) arrived in Damascus, unknown people looted Damascus, including Iran’s embassy.

The ambassador said that “the most important influential variable in this scene is the role of the Zionist regime.”

“This regime does not want a powerful government to be formed in Syria that would be a threat to it,” he stated.

“The interests of the Zionist regime also shape US policies. These factors are serious challenges that Syria is currently facing,” he explained.

Foreign-backed militants, led by HTS, took control of Damascus on December 8 and declared an end to President Assad’s rule in a surprise offensive that was launched from their stronghold in northwestern Syria, reaching the capital in less than two weeks.
