Seyed Abbas Araghchi, the foreign minister of Iran, denounced the recent Israeli airstrikes on Syria on Thursday, describing them as “unhinged aggression” and cautioning that the operations would cause more instability in the area.
Araghchi remarked in a forceful statement on his official X (formerly Twitter) account: “Unfortunately, this was all too predictable.” What is the next capital?
The Iranian foreign minister called Israel a “rabid regime” that “knows no bounds and only grasps one language,” and he called on regional and international forces to come together to resist Israel’s increasing military provocations.
He added, “To stop its unbridled aggression, the world, including the region, must come together.”
In light of the ongoing violence in Suweida, where Israeli assaults on strategic Syrian military locations have resulted in battles between Druze militias, Bedouin tribes, and government forces that have killed over 300 people, Araghchi reiterated Iran’s support for Damascus.
“Iran will always stand with the Syrian people and supports Syria’s sovereignty and territorial integrity,” he continued.
