Tehran-Damascus cooperation will result in Israel's defeat in Gaza war: Iran Defense minister
Iran’s Defense Minister Brigadier General Aziz Nasirzadeh has underlined the need for maintaining cooperation with Syria, saying the partnership will culminate in Israel’s defeat in its genocidal war on the Gaza Strip.
Nasirzadeh made the remarks on Sunday during a telephone conversation with his Syrian counterpart, Major General Ali Mahmoud Abbas.
The Iranian defense minister blasted the inaction of the international community on the occupying regime’s onslaught on Gaza, which has killed 40,738 Palestinians, mostly women and children, since October 7, 2023.
“Unfortunately, we do not see a proper reaction from the international community to the Israeli regime’s crimes,” he said.
“Thus, the cooperation between the two countries must continue, and it will definitely bring about the defeat of the regime.”
Nasirzadeh also highlighted the two countries’ shared commitment to the Axis of Resistance against Israel.
He further reaffirmed Iran's support for Syria's security and territorial integrity, stressing that the implementation of existing agreements will boost bilateral cooperation.
Abbas, for his part, expressed Syria’s resolve to keep up its relations with Iran in line with the goals of the two nations.
The security of the two countries is intertwined, he added, saying the Axis of Resistance is fighting against Israel which is committing mounting crimes against humanity in Gaza, Syria and Yemen.
He also expressed hope for enhanced Iran-Syria ties, which he said will make both sides stronger in the face of the bullying front.
Syria has been gripped by foreign-backed militancy since March 2011, with Western countries and their regional allies aiding terrorist groups that are wreaking havoc there.
Syrian forces, backed by Iran and Russia, have managed to win back control of almost all regions of the Arab country.
However, Syria’s northern parts are still controlled by militants and foreign occupation forces.
