Tehran, YJC. Iranian First Vice-President Eshaq Jahangiri strongly condemned recent Israeli airstrikes on Syria on Tuesday.
He asserted the
terrorists that fight the Damascus government enjoy Tel Aviv’s support.
"If there were
any doubt before these airstrikes that the terrorist groups had entered Syria
following the Zionist regime’s meddling and provocations, now there is no doubt
in this regard anymore,” Jahangiri said in a meeting with Syrian Prime Minister
Wael Nader al-Halqi.
He reiterated
that Syria enjoys an outstanding status in the Muslim World, and is also the
point of resistance. "But the enemies, in particular the Zionist regime with
the support of some regional countries, have devised plots in the past years to
harm Syria’s position.”
"Iran and Syria suffer
common threats and they have to safeguard their relations,” he added.
The Syrian prime
minister, in turn, said that the main purpose of his visit to Tehran was to
strengthen cooperation between the 2 countries in different areas.
"We are aiming to boost cooperation in economic spheres and implement the joint
projects between the two countries,” he noted.
