The Syrian President Bashar Assad sent a letter to Iran’s Supreme Leader Imam Sayyed Ali Khamenei in which he thanked the Islamic Republic for its role in lifting the siege on Deir Ezzor city, a terrorist stronghold in eastern Syria.

The Iranians have always stood by Syria in the fight against terrorism, President Assad said in the letter acquired by the Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA) on Thursday.

We share our victory with the Iranian people who also shed their blood to stop terrorists, said the Syrian president.
