Iran’s Vice President for parliamentary affairs, Mohammad Hosseini has said that Iran will help in the reconstruction of Syria, as it helped Syria during the war in that country, media reports said.
Hosseini made the remarks on Saturday in a meeting with Syria’s ambassador to Tehran Shafiq Dayoub.
“The Iranian Government gives a great priority to broaden ties with neighboring countries and the region, especially Syria,” he said.
He added that Iran considers itself with the Syrian government and people, and Syria is considered as an ally and strategic partner of Iran, according to the reports.
Iran will also “spare no effort” to stand by the Syrian people and government to the best of its ability to help preserve its territorial integrity, he added.
Hosseini hoped that the US troops would leave Syria and Iraq at the earliest, as they were forced to leave Afghanistan after 20 years.
He added that the Americans are still stealing Syrian oil, and it is strange that others do not condemn this behavior of the US.
Referring to Israel’s invasion of Syrian territory, Hosseini said: “The international community is expected to react to this and condemn it.”
Hosseini said that the people supporting terrorists should know that these acts will not go unanswered.
“if the Zionists seek to ignite the fire, war, and insecurity in Syria, this insecurity will surely affect them and will end to their detriment,” he said.
