Iran’s FM stresses global action against Israeli aggression on Syria
“It is critical for the countries of the region to immediately and effectively mobilize and join forces to stop Israel#39s aggression and the destruction of Syria,” Araqchi wrote in a message posted on X Wednesday.
“The Israeli regime has moved to destroy almost every defense-related as well as civilian infrastructure in Syria. It has also occupied further Syrian territory in violation of the 1974 disengagement agreement and UNSCR 350,” he said.
Araqchi added that “the UN Security Council—which has primary responsibility to stop unlawful aggression—is reduced to a handcuffed observer thanks to US obstruction.”
He said, “Syria's neighbors, as well as the Arab and Muslim worlds and indeed every UN member State that cares for rule of law, the fundamental principles of the UN Charter and international law cannot afford to remain indifferent.”
Armed militants, led by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), captured Damascus on Sunday and overthrew the government of Bashar al-Assad in a lightening offensive that was launched in northwestern Syria and reached the capital in less than two weeks.
The militants, blacklisted by the United States, along with the UK and EU, have long been backed by the West and the Israeli regime to overthrow the Assad government.
