The Iranian Foreign Minister expressed his country’s strong condemnation of the Israeli flagrant aggression on Syrian territories, affirming Iran’s standing by Syria in the face of the Israeli attempts to destabilize the region and weaken the resistance axis.

He added that time has come for deterring the Israeli occupation from carrying out such aggressions against peoples of the region.

The talks also tackled cooperation between Syria and Iran and the commitment of both countries to boost them in all domains.

The delegation accompanying Salehi, Deputy Prime Minister, Foreign and Expatriates Minister Walid al-Moallem, Presidential Political and Media Advisor Buthaina Shaaban, Deputy Foreign and Expatriates Minster Fayssal Mikdad attended the meeting.

In statements to journalists after the meeting, Salehi said his meeting with President al-Assad was good, and that they discussed bilateral relations, regional developments and the crisis in Syria, adding “we discovered that things are going well in Syria, and that the valiant Syrian Army reclaimed many areas… Syria will recover in the near future.”

Salehi affirmed that bilateral relations between Syria and Iran are continuing in all fields, voicing readiness to increase aid to Syrians and provide the basic necessities of the Syrian people.

“We are fully confident that Syria will emerge victorious from the crisis because the Syrian people have right on their side as does the Syrian government because it emerged from the will of the people and there’s considerable harmony between them,” he said, adding that without the steadfastness of the Syrian people for two years and their support for the Army and the government, no government could have withstood such a vicious attack.

Salehi asserted optimism over the future of Syria which he said is moving in the right direction towards victory, stressing that Iran will not accept any external interference and that the Syrian people are the only ones who may decide upon their own future.

He said that the Israeli aggression on sites in Syria revealed to the world the truth of the false allegations of the mercenaries fighting the Syrian Army and how this aggression was timed with their murdering of innocents.

“Now matters are clear… how Israel shows solidarity with mercenaries and how mercenaries put their hands in the hands of Zionists… we said since the beginning of the crisis that Syria is a main ring in the chain of resistance, which is the cause of these pressures,” Salehi said, noting that despite how clear matters have become, some sides refuse to acknowledge them.

In turn, Minister al-Moallem said that Salehi conducted a productive meeting with President al-Assad, with the two sides’ viewpoints being in agreement due to the ongoing coordination and consultation between the two leaderships in the current circumstances.

In response to a question on concerns over a war on Syria, al-Moallem pointed out that Syria has been facing an internal war for two years which is also a regional and international war targeting the Syria people, adding “we’re used to this… we’re not concerned but we’re prepared to defend ourselves and our people and we will not abide by aggression.”

On the possibility of activating the mutual shield agreement with Iran, al-Moallem said that everyone must know that before the crisis in Syria and during it, Iran’s leadership and people stood alongside Syria to a degree that surpassed the mutual defense agreement, adding that the two countries are cooperating in all economic and political fields and have identical positions.

Speaker Al-Laham: Media war from Zionists aimed at deluding the world public opinion about Syria

Speaker of the People’s Assembly, Mohammad Jihad al-Laham, stressed that the steadfastness of the Syrian people and the sacrifices of the Syrian Army have foiled all plots aimed at undermining Syria’s sovereignty and independence of national decision.

Meeting a media delegation from Venezuela and Latin America countries, al-Laham pointed out that Syria has been facing a media war, in addition to the military and economic wars waged against it for over two years.

He noted that the media war is aimed at deluding the world public opinion about what is happening in Syria.

Speaker al-Laham added that the Syrian people are facing international terrorism  through Takfiri armed terrorist groups which came to fight in Syria in the disguise of “freedom, democracy and human rights.”

He asserted that the hegemony imposed by some countries on the UN Security Council resolutions have contributed to absenting justice, honesty and credibility among the countries of the world and have led to fueling conflicts and wars to serve the best interests of the colonialist countries.

Speaker al-Laham hailed the stances of the friendly countries, including Venezuela, Latin America countries, Iran and the BRICS countries, highlighting their efforts to consolidate the steadfastness of Syria.

He emphasized that the political program to resolve the crisis in Syria is the only way to emerge out of the crisis, adding that the Syrian government is open to dialogue with all political sides which discard violence and reject foreign interference.

The delegation said that the peoples of Latin America support Syria and its people in face of the unjust war with all its dimensions, stressing the right of the Syrian people to defend themselves against the armed terrorist groups.

Information Minister: Syrians Determined to Confront Terrorism

Information Minister, Omran al-Zoubi said that the Syrians are determined to confront terrorism and find a political solution to the crisis based on the comprehensive national dialogue without excluding anyone.

During his meeting on Wednesday with a media delegation from Latin America, al-Zoubi said that foreign sides do not want a solution to the crisis in Syria, but seek to whip up and prolong a state of chaos, wondering how would be the shape of the region in the absence of a civil secular country as Syria, ”thus the end of the religious moderation that have formed a bridge between cultures across centuries.”

He added that Syria is resolved to push ahead with the confrontation for it has no other options but to defend its independence, indicating that ”Syria is being targeted with the aim to pressure it into offering a historic service to the Zionist project in the region, which cannot happen.”

He added that terrorists from 29 countries who call themselves ”jihadists” are active on the Syrian soil, warning of the danger implied in the naming as Jihad in Islam expresses a noble idea that they are trying to distort.

He added that the events in Syria are different from any other Arab state due to its nature and location, indicating that ”Syria is the only state that stands against the Zionist entity along with the resistance groups, and is the only state that won’t accept the US dictates and policies, which made it a target of colonizers.”

The Information Minister underscored the role of media in raising awareness, pointing to the impact of the passing away of a great and revolutionary figure as Hugo Chavez on the Syrian people. He expressed confidence that the Venezuelan people will follow in the footsteps of the late great leader.

Head of the delegation, Naim Shaabouq said the visit is aimed to convey the reality to foreign media and stress the support of the Latin American people to the Syrian people.
