Al-Mikdad, Bagheri Kani stress Israeli crimes will not go unpunished
Minister of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates Faisal Al-Mikdad and the Iranian Acting Foreign Minister Ali Bagheri Kani have discussed the latest developments in the region. The two sides focused on the Israeli recent attacks on a number of countries in the region, including the crime of assassinating the head of the Political Bureau of the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran and the aggression that led to the martyrdom of the leader in the Lebanese resistance Fouad Shukr in Lebanon, the Syrian Arab News Agency reported.
In a telephone call with Bagheri on Tuesday, Al-Mikdad said that the Zionist entity goes far in its policy of escalation, expands the scope of its aggression in the region and commits war crimes and genocide in the occupied Palestinian territories, particularly in Gaza Strip which must not go unpunished.
“Syria stands by Iran and the Resistance forces to confront the Israeli crimes,” Al-Mikdad said.
He also condemned the collusion of the United States and Western countries in the crimes of the Zionist entity, as they are partners in the aggression against Iran, Lebanon, Yemen and Syria.
In turn, Minister Bagheri Kani stressed that what the Zionist entity is doing is the result of its failure in its war against the Palestinian people and its attempt to export its crisis and expand the circle of war in the region, adding the recent attacks by the Zionist entity on Yemen, Lebanon, Tehran, and before that on Syria, which were carried out with American and Western support, will not go unpunished.
He expressed his country’s thanks and gratitude to Syria for its continuous support to Iran and its people, especially in light of those circumstances to which region is going through.
The two ministers stressed the continuation of consultation and coordination and of exerting every effort to stop the Zionist attacks, defeat Israeli and Western plots, and achieve security and stability in the region and the world.
