Iran Foreign Minister Ali-Akbar Salehi has condemned the Zionist regime’s strike on Syria as blatant violation of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Damascus.
“Undoubtedly, this blatant violation is in line with the policy of the West and the Zionists to...deflect [the world's] attention from the achievements of the Syrian nation and government in maintaining sovereignty and restoring stability and security to the country,” Salehi said on Thursday.
He added that the assault proves the Syrian nation and government’s rightful stand in supporting anti-Israel resistance and further reveals that terrorist groups fighting against Syrian government are moving in line with Israel’s objectives.
Pointing to the Zionist regime’s plots against Muslim nations, the Iranian top diplomat also called on regional countries to remain vigilant and help stop the continuation of the Tel Aviv regime's crimes.
On Wednesday, the Syrian army said two people were killed and five others injured in an Israeli airstrike on a research center in Jamraya, near the capital, Damascus.
