Iran condemns American occupation forces’ terrorist attack on Deir Ezzor and their continued theft of Syrian wealth

Iran condemned the terrorist attack launched by the US occupation forces on some areas in Deir Ezzor Governorate, and its continued theft of Syrian national wealth.

Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Nasser Kanaani said in a statement on Saturday: “The continuation of the illegal military presence of the United States of America, the occupation of parts of Syrian territory, and the assault on various sites in it, is a violation of its national sovereignty, territorial integrity and international laws.”

Kanaani added, “Washington’s claim to be in Syria to fight ISIS, which it (the USA) played a major role in creating it, is just a pretext to continue occupying this country’s lands and plundering its national wealth, including energy and grain.”

The Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman rejected the accusations of US officials against Iran, pointing out that making baseless accusations and then issuing judgments based on them is an outdated method.

Kanaani pointed out that the Iranian advisors played an important role in combating terrorism alongside the armed forces and the people in Syria. They are present on Syrian territory at the request of the Syrian government with the aim of helping it in the fight against terrorism, and they will always be at its side to establish peace, stability and lasting security
