Araqchi described the recent terrorist activities in Syria as part of a larger conspiracy by adversaries aiming to destabilize the region.

He underscored the importance of this partnership for ensuring long-term regional stability and safeguarding the security of all nations in the region.

He stressed the need for collective regional efforts to eradicate terrorism, which benefits the enemies of Islamic nations, particularly the Zionist regime. Assad also highlighted the importance of Araqchi’s visit as a symbol of Iran’s steadfast solidarity with the Resistance Axis against the Zionist regime.
