Tehran(ST)-Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi stressed that the movements of terrorist groups in northern Syria are supported by the United States and the Zionist entity and require coordination and an immediate response from the international community.

We have witnessed in recent days, coinciding with the announcement of a ceasefire in Lebanon, movements by the Takfiri terrorist groups in Syria with the support of America and the Zionist entity.”

Araqchi stressed that “these movements require awareness and coordination from the countries of the region, in addition to an immediate and effective response from the international community.”
