ZIONIST REGIME'S SUPPORT FOR SYRIAN TERRORIST GROUPS EVIDENT: ASSAD
Damascus, Feb 4, IRNA -- Zionist regime's recent air raid on Syria
proved this regime's support for the terrorist groups, Syrian President
Bashar al-Assad said on Sunday.
He made the remarks in a meeting with the visiting Secretary of Iran's
Supreme National Security Council Saeed Jalili in Damascus.
'Zionist regime's recent aggression on a research center near Damascus
was aimed at weakening the Syrian government and forcing it to retreat
from its current national and regional position.'
Assad added that Syrian army and nation are ready to defend their
country and the resistance line against any aggression and challenge.
Jalili, for his part, declared Tehran's support for the Syrian
government against the occupying force of the Zionist regime.
'Iran supports Syrian government's political solution for the
resolution of this region's crisis.Tehran is ready to mediate
reconciliation dialogue between Syrian government and the opposition.'
Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council in a meeting with
Syria's Minister for National Reconciliation Ali Haidar on Saturday
had also said that the ongoing terrorist attempts and sabotage in
Syria would have no result.
Speaking to Haidar, Jalili expressed satisfaction with a progressing
political trend presently underway among various Syrian political
groups and the government.
Meanwhile, the Syrian official briefed Jalili on various comprehensive
plans made by the Syrian government to encourage the spirit of
national reconciliation among different walks of the Syrian society
and encourage the trend of reconstructing the country.
Earlier in the day, Jalili met with Syrian Prime Minister Wael
al-Halqi.
Referring to the Zionist regime's air raid on Syria, the Iranian
official said the Islamic world would not tolerate any moves by the
enemies, particularly the Zionist regime, to invade Syria.
The Iranian official arrived in Syria on Saturday to discuss issues
of mutual interest with Syrian officials, including President Bashar
al-Assad, Prime Minister Wael Nader al-Halqi and Foreign Minister
Walid al-Muallem.
Jalili had also exchanged views with senior Syrian officials on the
Zionist regime's January 30 air raid on that country.
The Zionist regime's fighters violated Syrian air space on January
30 and attacked a research center in Reef (outskirts of) Damascus.
Syria has been experiencing unrest since March 2011 with organized
attacks by well-armed gangs against Syrian police forces and border
guards being reported across the country.
Thousands of people, including members of the security forces, have
been killed, when some protest rallies turned into armed clashes.
The government blames outlaws, saboteurs, and armed terrorist groups
for the deaths, stressing that the unrest is being orchestrated
from abroad.
The US and its western and regional allies have long sought to
topple Assad and his ruling system. Media reports said that the
Syrian rebels and terrorist groups have received significantly more
and better weapons in recent weeks, a crime paid for by the Persian
Gulf Arab states and coordinated by the United States.
