Israel shares interests with Syria terrorists: Iran

Iran has strongly condemned Israel’s recent airstrikes in Syrian territory, saying that the raids show how Tel Aviv’s interests are intertwined with those of the terrorists operating in Syria.

Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Bahram Qassemi said the Friday Israeli strikes against targets near the central Syria city of Palmyra had taken place “at a time when [the Syrian] army and the anti-terror front have the upper hand against bloodthirsty terrorists, driving them back from cities and villages one after another.”

That, he said, indicated the overlap of interests between Israel and the terrorists in Syria.

Qassemi called on the United Nations (UN) to denounce the aggression and use whatever in its power to prevent the repeat of such “acts of violation of peace and security by the aggressive and rogue Zionist regime (Israel).”
