ALWAGHT- The Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman stated that Tehran is prepared to restore ties with Damascus but is not rushing, noting that any resumption of relations will prioritize the interests of the Syrian people.
At a press conference on Wednesday, Esmaeil Baghaei stated that Iran regards itself as a friend of the Syrian people and views the suspension of ties between the two historically close Islamic nations as temporary.
