Iran Press/ Iran news: Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in a phone call with Iran's acting President Mohammad Mokhber said: "I was very eager to travel to Tehran to extend my condolences on martyrdom of the later Iranian president and his companions to the Leader of the Islamic Revolution of Iran in person, so I will travel to Iran at the first opportunity to express my condolences."
