TEHRAN – Commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Major General Mohammad Ali Jafari underlined that Iran will continue its material and spiritual support for the Syrian nation and government,according to FNA.
Major General Jafari pointed to the failure of the western countries in conducting a military intervention in Syria, and said, “They know well that the Islamic Republic provides material, spiritual and intellectual support for Syria.”
Iranian officials have reiterated on various occasions that Tehran helps Syria in different ways, while it does not help the country militarily.
Iranian officials have repeatedly underlined that Tehran is in favor of negotiations between the Syrian government and “opposition groups” to create stability in Syria.
Earlier this year, Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei warned of the dire consequences of any military intervention in Syria for the region, and said the US will certainly be severely harmed by pursuing warmongering policies against Syria.
