Al-Mikdad: Syria is in grief over the loss of Iran’s Raisi, Abdollahian and their companions

Minister of  Foreign Affairs and Expatriates Faisal Al-Mikdad has stressed that Syria is in grief following the tragic loss of Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi and Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian in the crash of the helicopter that was carrying them in northern Azerbaijan province.

In a statement to the Beirut-based Al-Mayadeen TV on Tuesday, Al-Mikdad said: “Syria lost two dear friends; they were among our closest allies, and Syria was one of the countries closest to them”, pointing out that relations with Iran are strategic.

“The late Iranian president always stressed his country’s keenness to support Syria in the face of the terrorist war imposed on it, and he believed in Syria’s victory in its war on terrorism, thanks to the steadfastness of its people and its leader, President Bashar Al-Assad,” Al-Mikdad added.

He explained that the strategic relations between the two countries were strengthened by President Al-Assad’s visit to Tehran in 2022 and the late President Raisi’s visit to Damascus in May of last year.

He affirmed that” the Syrian-Iranian relations have been rooted since the victory of the Islamic Revolution in Iran in 1979, and they will remain strong and solid today and in future. The two countries reject the hegemony of the United States and its Western allies, and their interference in the internal affairs of countries, and they agree that Palestine is their cause, and that the racist Zionist entity is a common enemy”.
