Iran-Syria Relations

The Syrian information minister says the US has waged a mock battle against ISIS in Syria and its military tactics only serve the interests of the terrorists fighting against Syrian government forces.

The IRGC’s recent missile attacks on ISIS positions in Syria have made it clear to the US government that it must think twice before launching any attack on the Islamic Republic or mounting any campaign to isolate the country, a Syrian minister says.

An Iranian advisor says the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps’ missile attack on Syria’s Deir ez-Zor targeted the place where the Tehran terrorist operation had been orchestrated by ISIS terrorists.

A top Iranian commander says the Islamic Republic is involved in a constant competition with world powers in different areas, particularly in the field of missile capabilities.

Iranian foreign minister says the Astana Talks, an initiative by Iran, Russia, and Turkey to help settle the six-year crisis in Syria, has so far been the only fruitful process to restore peace to the war-torn country.

Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Bahram Qassemi says the Islamic Republic is prepared to dispatch military forces to Syria to monitor an ongoing ceasefire in the Arab country’s de-escalation zones.

A top Iranian official says terrorists in Syria and Iraq are just elements to implement the US policies in the Middle East.

Iran, Russia, and Turkey, the guarantor states of Syrian ceasefire, signed a document on creating four de-escalation zones in Syria at the conclusion of the fourth round of Astana talks held in the Kazakh capital on Thursday.

Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Bahram Qassemi strongly denounced the Israeli regime's repeated attacks on Syria, saying such raids are against all international laws and principles.

The Arabic rendering of the memoirs of a martyred senior Iranian commander has drawn massive attention in Syria.

In a communique released at the end of an expert meeting on the Syrian crisis held in Tehran, the Iranian Foreign Ministry expressed the hope that the Astana Process would put an end to the Syrian conflict as soon as possible.

Iran’s foreign minister will join his counterparts from Russia and Syria on Friday for a trilateral meeting due to be held in the Russian capital, an Iranian spokesman said.

German Foreign Minister Sigmar Gabriel highlighted the significant role played by Tehran and Moscow in the resolution of Syria issue, and urged the G-7 member states to cooperate with them.

A senior advisor to Iran’s foreign minister says the Islamic Republic is a key player in Syria and will not allow the United States to change the equations to its benefit.

Iranian President Hassan Rouhani underlined the need for implementation of some reforms in Syria’s ruling system, but at the same time noted that the only way out of Syria’s problem is the ballot box.

President Hassan Rouhani and his Syrian counterpart Bashar al-Assad have held phone talks over a US missile strike which targeted an airbase used as a frontline in the battle against foreign-backed terrorists.

Iranian minister of foreign affairs says despite Turkish officials’ recent anti-Iran stances, the Islamic Republic insists that its cooperation with Ankara and Moscow should continue to stave off humanitarian disasters in Syria.
