Iran and Syria vow Sunday to take “mighty steps” to confront US sanctions imposed on the two regional allies, saying their relations will strengthen under Iran’s new leadership.
The announcement was made by Iran’s new Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, who was received at the airport for a visit to Damascus by his Syrian counterpart, Faisal Mekdad.
“The leadership of the two countries will together take mighty steps to confront economic terrorism and reduce pressure on our people,” Amir-Abdollahian said at the airport.
Amir-Abdollahian’s visit to Syria comes a day after he represented Iran in a conference attended by officials from around the Middle East aimed at easing regional tensions.
He described Syria as the “land of resistance,” adding that Damascus and Tehran had worked together “on the ground and achieved joint victories.” He went on to say, “We support the Syrian government, people and leadership.”
