Iranian Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi reaffirmed Tehran\u2019s support from Syria in a meeting with the Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad on Tuesday.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s time to stop Zionist regime aggressions against the people of the region,\u201d Salehi said Assad on recent Israeli air strike on Syria.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe’re on your side and will not let Syria fall into the hands of Israel or U.S. or Takfiris,\u201d he added.<\/span><\/p>\n

After the meeting with Iranian Foreign Minister, Bashar Assad was quoted by Lebanese Al-Manar TV as saying the country is able to confront Israeli aggression.<\/span><\/p>\n

“The recent Israeli\u00a0aggression\u00a0expose the size of the complicity between the Israeli occupation, regional countries, and the West in backing the current events in Syria,” Assad said in his first remarks since Israeli warplanes <\/span><\/span>conducter airstrikes on Syria over the weekend.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

“The Syrian people and their heroic army\u2026 are capable of confronting this Israeli adventure, which represents one of the faces of terrorism that is targeting Syria every day,\u201d he added.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ali Akbar Salehi, heading a high-ranking delegation, arrived in the Jordanian capital of Amman on Monday in the first leg of his Middle East tour.<\/span><\/p>\n

In Amman, Salehi had separate meetings with Jordan’s King Abdullah II and Prime Minister Abdullah Nsour on Tuesday.<\/span><\/p>\n

In Amman, Salehi stressed Iran\u2019s opposition to any foreign intervention in Syria and called for a negotiated solution to the crisis in the Arab state.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe reject any foreign intervention in Syria and we don\u2019t want Syria to plunge into crisis\u2026,\u201d Salehi said in a joint press conference with his Jordanian counterpart, Nasser Judeh, in Amman on Tuesday.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe Syria crisis and its consequences for the region are very heavy, and must be peacefully settled within the framework of a Syrian-Syrian solution. [If] any political vacuum occurs in this country, its consequences would affect all [regional] countries,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>\n

On Friday and Sunday, Israeli warplanes carried out two airstrikes on Syria. Afterwards, the Syrian government called the attacks a \u201cflagrant violation of international law.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The Syrian Foreign Ministry has sent letters to the UN Security Council stating that Israel\u2019s aggression shows the links between Tel Aviv and terrorist groups operating in Syria, including the al-Qaeda-linked al-Nusra Front.<\/span><\/p>\n

Syrian Information Minister Omran al-Zoabi told reporters in Damascus on Sunday that Syria had the right and the duty to defend its people by all available means and it would not give in to Israeli acts of aggression.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
