Addressing the Iranian officials and ambassadors of Islamic countries in Tehran on Saturday, Rouhani said the US aggression will have no result in the region except for destruction and annihilation, they want to justify their presence in the region with these aggressions”.
"Terrorist Sponsors are angry because terrorists suffer heavy defeat in Eastern Ghouta", Iranian President said.
Referring to Syrian resistance against foreign aggression, Rouhani added, Iran has always supported regional countries against terrorism and will continue to do so.
The President of the Islamic Republic of Iran also went on to say: “The people of Syria have stood against the aggressors for years and will continue to resist. Iran has always supported –and will continue to support- the oppressed peoples in the region and the world and responses positively to the call of help coming from the governments of the region to fight terrorism”.
"The plots of enemies against the Iranian nation have always been foiled through people’s persistence and wisdom, Rouhani said, adding: “This time, the enemies intended to disrupt the affairs in our country through economic plots but they were not successful and I appreciated unity and integrity of all powers, institutions and media in confronting the recent plots”.
“Without a doubt, the guidance of the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution have helped the government,” Rouhani added.
In the early hours of Saturday, the United States, Britain and France carried out a wave of military strikes against multiple targets in Syria, using an alleged chemical attack near Damascus last week as a pretext to justify the campaign.
The Iranian Foreign Minister strongly condemned military strikes by the US, the UK and France against Syria as a violation of international law, warning against the repercussions of such an act of aggression against an independent country.
