For his part, the Iranian FM denounced the Israeli aggression, stressing that the Islamic Republics stands in front of Syria against the Israeli attempts to mess around with the region and to weaken the resistance axis.

Salehi also assured that it is the time to deter the Zionist entity from staging such aggressions against the region’s people.
