Islamic Iran Renews Support for Assad’s Reforms Plan in Syria

Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister for Arab and African Affairs Hossein Amir Abdollahian, who is on a bi-nation tour of Africa, underlined Tehran’s support for the Syrian people and the reforms plan initiated by President Bashar al-Assad.

Amir Abdollahian made the remarks in a meeting with Namibian President Hifikepunye Pohamba in Windhoek on Friday.

In the meeting, Hossein Amir-Abdulahian condemned alien interference and terrorist acts in Syria, and stressed Iran’s support for Syrian people and reform plans of President Bashar al-Assad.

Saudi Arabia and Qatar are blamed for the terrorist blasts in Syria as they have overtly and covertly rendered logistical and financial support for armed rebels and terrorist groups in Syria.

Syria has been experiencing unrest since March 2011 with organized attacks by well-armed gangs against Syrian police forces and border guards being reported across the country.

Hundreds of people, including members of the security forces, have been killed, when some protest rallies turned into armed clashes.

The government blames outlaws, saboteurs, and armed terrorist groups for the deaths, stressing that the unrest is being orchestrated from abroad.

In October, calm was eventually restored in the Arab state after President Assad started a reform initiative in the country, but Israel, the US and its Arab allies are seeking hard to bring the country into chaos through any possible means. Tel Aviv, Washington and some Arab capitals have been staging various plots in the hope of stirring unrests in Syria once again.
