Iran's permanent ambassador to the United Nations has expressed Tehran’s deep concern over the resurgence of terrorism in Syria, reaffirming the Islamic Republic’s unfaltering support for the Arab nation in the fight against Takfiri terror groups.

According to The Iran Project, “The Islamic Republic of Iran remains steadfast in its support for the Syrian government and its people in their just and determined fight against terrorism. Iran fully recognizes and supports Syria's sovereign right to combat and eliminate terrorist groups like HTS (Hayat Tahrir al-Sham), which bring widespread destruction, chaos, and suffering wherever they operate,” Amir Saeid Iravani said in his address to an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council on Syria on Tuesday.

The Iranian diplomat emphasized that all measures to combat terrorism must be undertaken in coordination with and with the consent of the Syrian government, reiterating that the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Arab country must be fully ensured.

Iravani went on to note that Iran's recent active diplomatic engagements with its partners in the Astana process as well as the Damascus government attest to such a commitment.
