Al-Mikdad from the Iranian Embassy headquarters: The Israeli occupation entity will not be able to affect the Syrian-Iranian relations

Damascus (ST) –Minister of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates Faisal Al-Mikdad visited the headquarters of the Embassy of the Islamic Republic of Iran in Damascus to check on the safety of its staff after the brutal Israeli terrorist aggression that targeted the Iranian Consulate building in Damascus.

During the visit, Al-Mikdad made a telephone call with the Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, expressing Syria’s strong condemnation of this fascist aggression against the diplomatic building, and affirming Syria’s support for Iran in the face of the attacks it is being subjected to that show the state of hysteria that the Zionist entity is experiencing as a result of its miserable failure in its war against the Palestinian people in Gaza.

He stressed that the Israeli barbarism no longer distinguishes civilian or diplomatic objects protected under international law.

For his part, Abdollahian thanked Al-Mikdad for his “quick initiative to stand by his brothers in the Iranian embassy in Damascus, which represents a strong message of support”.

At the conclusion of the visit, Al-Mikdad affirmed that the Israeli occupation entity will not be able to affect the relations between Syria and Iran, condemning the Israeli terrorist attack that targeted the Iranian Consulate building.

“We are present at the Embassy of the Islamic Republic of Iran to confirm once again that Israel cannot affect the relations between Syria and Iran”, Al-Mikdad clarified.

“Israel, the racist entity, is a symbol of terrorism in this world and the massacres it is committing, especially in Gaza, indicate that the Zionists are not humans, and this matter is also reflected in those who support Israel, especially in the United States”, he added

Al-Mikdad stressed that this Israeli attack that targeted the Iranian Consulate in Damascus is a heinous terrorist act that led to the death of number of innocent people, indicating that targeting embassies is prohibited under international law.

In turn, the Iranian Ambassador to Syria, Hussain Akbari, affirmed that the Israeli attack on the Iranian consulate reflects the reality of the Zionist entity, which does not recognize any international laws and does everything inhumane to achieve its goals

Akbari stressed that Iran continues to stand by the resistant peoples and is not afraid of the crimes and attacks of the usurping Zionist entity, noting that there is a responsibility on international institutions and organizations to stop the Zionist crimes that violate international law.
