There is a clear commitment to expanding cooperation in various fields."
Iran's top diplomat stressed: "Tehran has stood by the Syrian people and government, is currently doing so, and will continue to do so in the future too."
Araghchi said: "We support the stability and unity of Syria and condemn any attempts to destabilize the country. The actions of the Israeli regime, which extend from Palestine to Lebanon and Syria, illustrate its aggressive, expansionist, and criminal nature, seeking to disrupt peace and stability in the region. We urge the international community and the United Nations to take action, condemn these crimes, and put an end to the current inaction."

Disputes between Türkiye and Syria must be resolved peacefully
In part of his remarks at the meeting, the Iranian Foreign Minister stressed: "We emphasize that the differences between Türkiye and Syria must be resolved peacefully."
He emphasized: "Syria's territorial integrity must be respected and support for extremist groups must stop."

Araghchi: Iran's Response to Israeli Aggression Set for Timely Launch
Our response to the Zionist regime's aggression will be carried out at the appropriate time, under the appropriate conditions, and in the appropriate manner.
Iran’s foreign minister Abbas Araghchi said the alleged Israeli attack on Iranian soil was a new aggression that would certainly be answered at the appropriate time.
Araghchi: Tehran Will Never Respond to Language and Policy of Pressure
He said about how the US is setting up its calculations: "We will never respond to the language and policy of pressure. We have proven this in practice. Whenever they have adopted a policy of maximum pressure, we have also adopted a policy of maximum resistance."
Syrian Top Diplomat: Israel Has Failed
Syrian Foreign Minister Bassam Sabbagh stated during the meeting: "The reality is that the escalation of Israeli tensions in the region aligns with the American and Zionist agenda, which aims to reshape our region. Israel acts as an instrument for this objective. While we have succeeded in expelling many terrorist groups, some remain based in northern Syria, and we continue to combat them."
Sabbagh added: "The Israeli regime has failed to achieve its goals and they want to occupy our own soil, but we do not pay attention to these issues."
The Syrian Foreign Minister made the following statement about the agreements between the two countries: "We have established a joint high commission and a joint economic commission, which will soon hold meetings in Damascus. These two commissions are exploring all possibilities for cooperation between our nations. We are pleased with the progress made so far, but there is still more work to be done."
Sabbagh stated, "We believe that the crimes of the Israeli regime must be halted before we can consider sending humanitarian aid. The Zionist regime must be held accountable; we will oppose any form of occupation, and we support Iran's right to respond to any wrongdoing."
