Iranian Foreign minister Hossein Amir Abdollahian strongly condemned the Israeli regime’s renewed aggression against Syria after Friday’s attack targeting the Damascus airport, reaffirming its unflinching support for the Arab country.
The Islamic Republic has always stood by the Syrian government and people and would continue to do so in the future, the Iranian top diplomat, who is presently visiting India, said during a telephone conversation with his Syrian counterpart Faisal Al-Mekdad on Friday.
An Israeli airstrike targeted the vicinity of the Damascus International Airport in the Syrian capital early on Friday.
The top Iranian diplomat said the Israeli regime’s relentless attacks on Syria’s infrastructure were not only in violation of the country’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, but also constituted a contravention of all international laws and humanitarian norms and principles, Tasnim news agency reported.
Amir Abdollahian, meanwhile, deemed the silence of the international community and regional organizations in the face of the Israeli aggression as “pathetic and reprehensible.”
The Syrian official, for his part, expressed his country’s gratitude to the Islamic Republic and said the Syrian nation would sustain its resistance against the Zionist regime’s occupation and aggression.
Mekdad said the Israeli regime resorts to such desperate attacks to disturb the calm and stability in the region so that it can deflect attention from its domestic crisis.
He further said the attacks were meant to reinforce the remnants of Takfiri terrorist outfits, such as Daesh (ISIL or ISIS) and Al-Nusra Front, adding that the aggression would lead to nowhere.
Such incursions, the Syrian official concluded, would only strengthen the Syrian government and people’s resolve to confront occupation and terrorism.
