Iran: Israel’s strikes on Syria aimed at destroying its defensive, economic, and infrastructural capabilities

Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman, strongly condemning the new attacks by the Israeli regime on various areas in Syria, said the Zionist regime’s airstrikes on Syria are primarily intended to destroy the defensive, economic, and infrastructural capabilities of an independent country.

Esmaeil Baghaei emphasized that putting an end to the Israeli regime’s warmongering and acts of aggression against Syria requires a “swift and effective” measure by the international community, particularly the regional countries. He pointed out the Organization of Islamic Cooperation must utilize the existing mechanisms to compel the United Nations Security Council to fulfill its duties vis-à-vis the Israeli regime’s violation of law and peace./ Tasnim news agency
