Iran Press/ Middle East: Iranian Foreign Minister, Hossein Amirabdollahian arrived in Syria at the head of a delegation to discuss the latest issues with Syrian officials.
Iran's Foreign Minister in a press conference with his counterpart, Fayssal Mikdad said: Iran condemns the Zionist aggression in the south of Tartus this morning. With its aggression, the Zionist regime is trying to make Damascus look like an unsafe city in order to block the return of Syrian refugees.
Amir-Abdollahian had a short trip to Turkey last week and discussed Syria's developments with the country's president and foreign minister.
Iranian Foreign Minister also told reporters that the recent visit of Syrian President Bashar Assad to the Islamic Republic of Iran was a turning point in the relations between the two countries.
Expressing his consent over the trip to Syria, Iran's foreign minister said that Iran strongly condemns the Zionist regime's recent invasions of Syrian territorial integrity. He said the Zionists seek to destabilize Syria and add to Syrians' problems by imposing sanctions against the country.
He added: "Now that the Syrians are returning to their cities, the Zionist regime aims to wrongly show Damascus insecure."
Iranian FM stressed that the Syrian leader, government, and people would defend their country's territorial integrity resolutely.
