In Damascus, Iran’s defense minister pledges ongoing backing for Syria and the resistance front
Iran's Defense Minister, Brigadier General Aziz Nasirzadeh, has affirmed that the Islamic Republic remains committed to providing support for the resistance front, as well as for the Syrian government and its people.
During a meeting held in Damascus on Sunday, Nasirzadeh expressed his comments alongside Kifah Moulhem, the Director of the Syrian National Security Bureau. Nasirzadeh is leading a military and defense delegation on a two-day visit to Syria.
A spokesperson stated that Iran will continue to provide strategic support to Syria in its ongoing battle against terrorism, as well as in endeavors to promote peace and stability within the region.
Moulhem commended the insightful position of the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, emphasizing the significance of backing the resistance. He characterized this stance as a vital source of strength for countries in the region.
In a recent meeting, representatives from Tehran and Damascus engaged in discussions aimed at enhancing bilateral cooperation across multiple domains, with a particular focus on defense and security. The primary objective of these talks was to explore strategies for the elimination of terrorism.
They emphasized the importance of maintaining bilateral collaboration to foster peace and stability within the region.
During discussions held earlier today with the Iranian Defense Minister, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad emphasized the necessity for both regional nations and the international community to collaborate in eradicating terrorism that continues to plague West Asia.
Nasirzadeh engaged in discussions with his Syrian counterpart, Lieutenant General Ali Mahmoud Abbas.
In response to the eruption of foreign-backed violence in Syria in 2011, Iran swiftly emerged as the first nation to extend assistance to the beleaguered country.
In 2017, military advisory support from the Islamic Republic played a crucial role in enabling the Arab nation to achieve a significant victory over the Daesh terrorist group.
