Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian strongly condemned, on Friday, the Israeli aggression on Damascus International Airport, stressing his country's support for the Syrian government and people.

Amir-Abdollahian stressed, during a telephone conversation with his Syrian counterpart, Faisal Miqdad, that "the Israeli entity's continued attacks on the Syrian infrastructure, including airports, ports and other important and vital centers, is not only a clear violation of Syria's sovereignty and territorial integrity, but is also a violation of all laws, International and human standards and principles,” condemning the “unacceptable” silence of states, the international community, and regional and international forums, describing it as a “shame” on the international community.

The Iranian minister praised "the tireless work of the Syrian leadership to preserve its sovereignty and heroic stances against terrorism," praising "the victories it has achieved in the face of illegal foreign interference in Syrian internal affairs."
