Iran has reiterated its commitment to respecting Syria's unity, national sovereignty, and territorial integrity, as stated by the Iranian foreign ministry in a recent announcement. The ministry emphasized that the fate and future of Syria should be determined by its people without any external interference or imposition.
To achieve this objective, Iran highlighted the importance of swiftly ending military conflicts, combating terrorist activities, and facilitating national dialogues involving all segments of Syrian society. The ultimate goal is to establish an inclusive government that represents the entire population of Syria.
Recognizing Syria's significance as a key player in the West Asia region, Iran expressed its unwavering dedication to supporting security and stability in Syria. The country pledged to engage in consultations with various influential parties, particularly those within the region, to contribute to this effort.
Despite the fall of President Bashar al-Assad's regime, Iran affirmed its intention to maintain friendly relations with Syria. Iran, along with its proxy Hezbollah, had been pivotal supporters of Assad during the conflict.
Meanwhile, a US official commented on the situation in Syria, describing it as the collapse of 'Iran's artifice' throughout the Middle East. The evolving dynamics in Syria are being closely monitored by regional and international actors as the country navigates a complex transition period.
