Zionist entity shares interests with Syria terrorists: Iran

Iran has strongly condemned Zionist entity’s recent air violation of Syrian airspace, saying that the raids show how Tel Aviv’s interests are intertwined with those of the terrorists operating in Syria.

According to Press TV, Foreign Ministry Spokesman Bahram Qassemi said the Friday Israeli regime strikes against targets near the central Syria city of Palmyra had taken place “at a time when [the Syrian] army and the anti-terror front have the upper hand against bloodthirsty terrorists, driving them back from cities and villages one after another.”

That, he said, indicated the overlap of interests between Israel and the terrorists in Syria.

Qassemi called on the United Nations (UN) to denounce the aggression and use whatever in its power to prevent the repeat of such “acts of violation of peace and security by the aggressive and rogue Zionist regime.”

Following the Friday airstrikes, Russia summoned the Israeli ambassador to Moscow, Gary Koren, for clarification over the raids. The Russian military has carrying out an aerial campaign in Syria in support of the Syrian government.

The air raids came less than three weeks after the Syrian military, covered by Russian air power, rid Palmyra of Daesh’s presence for a second time.
