Terrorists to Be Crushed in Syria: Iran’s FM
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi expressed confidence that the Takfiri terrorist groups that have staged a new armed rebellion in northwestern Syria in recent days will get nowhere and be overpowered.
Addressing a conference, held in commemoration of the Iranian Navy Day on the southern island of Kish on Sunday, Araqchi said the Takfiri terrorist elements in Syria are siding with the US.
The Iranian foreign minister stated that the terrorists in Syria will get nowhere and be defeated.
It has become obvious that the US and the Israeli regime are in cahoots with the terrorist groups, he added.
Araqchi also highlighted Iran’s perfect military preparedness, saying the Armed Forces have foiled hostile plots and prevented the enemies from harming the country’s security.
Several people have been killed as terrorists have launched attacks on Syria’s Aleppo for the first time in years.
Terrorists led by the Hay’et Tahrir al-Shams armed group on Wednesday launched an offensive, capturing a dozen towns and villages in the northwestern province of Aleppo.
Syria’s military has announced a “temporary troop withdrawal” in Aleppo, saying dozens of its soldiers had been killed or wounded in fierce battles with “armed terrorist organizations” in the governorates of Aleppo and Idlib over the previous few days and that it was now regrouping, redeploying troops to strengthen its defense lines as it prepared a “counterattack”.
The army said the terrorists had entered large parts of Aleppo but army bombardment had stopped them from establishing fixed positions. It promised to “expel them and restore the control of the state… over the entire city and its countryside”.
