Iran has issued a stern condemnation of ‘israel’s’ continued assaults on Syrian territory and its increasing encroachment on the Golan Heights

In a statement delivered on Monday, spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei condemned the recent intensification of hostilities, which have escalated over the past two days. Baghaei emphasized that these actions are occurring amidst the Syrian population’s ongoing challenges following the recent removal of the nation’s government. He asserted that such aggression constitutes a “blatant violation of the United Nations Charter.”

He highlighted the incursion by regime forces into a buffer zone near the occupied Golan Heights, a move that breaches the 1974 disengagement agreement established between Tel Aviv and Damascus. This agreement was designed to create a separation between the Israeli-occupied territory and Syrian land.

Baghaei deemed the occupation of the buffer zone as a violation of United Nations Security Council resolutions, criticizing Tel Aviv for extending its occupied territories. He characterized this action as a clear demonstration of the occupying regime’s expansionist and aggressive stance, reflecting its disregard for international law and norms.

He called for the mobilization of regional and international resources to facilitate the halting of the regime’s violations in Syria.

Baghaei urged the United Nations Security Council to swiftly intervene to halt the ongoing aggression and ensure the regime is held accountable for its actions.

The official criticized Western backers of the regime for their silence and inaction regarding the aggression, asserting that Tel Aviv interprets this Western stance as validation for its violations.

The remarks were made just one day after militants, reportedly supported by foreign entities, launched an assault on the Syrian capital, Damascus. This development follows significant advances by the militants in northern Syria, which occurred approximately two weeks after their comeback in that region.

In light of ongoing efforts by militant groups to reestablish their presence in the region, reports suggest significant backing from the Israeli government, Turkey, and several Western nations. These entities have reportedly been key supporters of anti-Damascus factions since the onset of the foreign-backed conflict in Syria in 2011.
