Syria lauds Iran’s support for regional stability

Syrian Foreign Minister Walid al-Muallem on Thursday praised Iran’s support for stability of the war-torn region.

He made the remarks in an exclusive interview with Lebanese daily al-Akhbar published on Thursday.

Nothing can undermine Iran-Syria profound and strategic relations, al-Muallem added.

He said Iran had not pressured the Syrian government to change approach towards Hamas or Muslim Brotherhood.

The Syrian FM called on certain regional states to avoid supporting anti-Damascus terrorist groups.

He referred to Russian backing for his country and said Moscow has agreed to deliver S-300 missile system to Syria.

The ISIL Takfiri terrorists currently control parts of Syria and Iraq. They have threatened all communities, including Shiites, Sunnis, Kurds, Christians, Ezadi Kurds and others, as they continue their atrocities in the region.

Senior Iraqi and Syrian officials have blamed Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and certain Persian Gulf Arab states for the growing terrorism in their countries.

The ISIL has links with Saudi intelligence and is believed to be indirectly supported by the Israeli regime.
