Alwaght- Syrian President Bashar al-Assad said on Monday the recent US-led military aggression against Syria will not succeed in stopping the country's war on terrorism.
In a meeting with Iranian Foreign Minister's Special Assistant for Political Affairs Hussein Jaberi Ansari in Damascus, President Assad emphasized that Syria's battle against terrorism would continue until control is recovered all over the Arab country's territory.
On April 14, the US, France and Britain carried out missile attacks on a number of targets in Syria in response to a suspected chemical attack in the Syrian town of Douma, near Damascus, that reportedly took place on April 7. The Syria he Syrian army shot down 71 out of the 103 missiles fired during the attack. Syria has rejected any role in the alleged chemical attack, which is yet to be investigated.
Assad said that these three countries and their pawns in the region have been supporting terrorists since day one of the war on Syria, asserting that the recent tripartite aggression will not succeed in stopping the war on terrorism, which will continue until control is recovered over all Syrian territory.
Jaberi Ansari briefed the Syrian leader on the political efforts exerted by Iran to help end the war on Syria, discussing the latest developments regarding the situation on the ground.
Jaberi Ansari stressed that the aggression waged by the United States, Britain, and France was motivated by the victories of the Syrian Arab Army and its allies against terrorists, as these three states were worried about these victories continuing at the same pace and expanding in new areas.
The two sides’ viewpoints were in agreements regarding the various issues discussed during the meeting, as they stressed the importance of maintaining cooperation and coordination between Syria and Iran to benefit the two countries’ peoples and to serve stability in the region.
