Alwaght- Iran has strongly condemned the Israeli regime's attack on an air base in the Syrian province of Homs, saying it was a blatant violation of international law which would strengthen terrorists.
"The Israeli regime's aggression against Syria is a breach of this country's national sovereignty and territorial integrity and runs counter to all international regulations and principles," Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Bahram Qassemi said on Monday.
"It only will further complicate the critical situation in Syria and regional equations," he added.
Russia and Syria confirmed on Monday that Israeli regime warplanes struck an air base in Homs and that Syrian air defense systems shot down five of eight missiles fired.
The Iranian spokesperson further emphasized that while the Syrian government has the upper hand on the battlefield, the Israeli regime carried out the air strike to strengthen terrorist groups and distract public opinion from the ongoing deadly Israeli attacks against the Gaza Strip, where over 30 Palestinians have been killed in recent days.
"The Islamic Republic of Iran once again reiterated its full support for Syria's territorial integrity and national sovereignty as well as its people," Qassemi said.
Saying the attack will certainly endanger international peace and security, Qassemi urged all free countries and international communities not to remain indifferent to such blatant Israeli aggression against a member of the United Nations.
