TEHRAN, July 18 - Ali Akbar Velayati, senior aide to Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, said Iran continues military consultation in Syria.
TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC) - “If we and Russia withdraw from Syria, the US and their allies will continue their measures to support terrorist groups and Damascus and Syrian government will be in a dangerous situation again,” he said.
Such a circumstance would increase the risk of development of terrorist groups.
“We are still in Syria for military consultation, because the main responsibility of defending Syria is on the shoulders of Syrian government.”
