Iran Denounces Israeli Strikes on Syria, Calls for Urgent U.N. Action

In a recent statement, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esma’eel Baqayi has vocally condemned the Israeli air and ground assaults on southern Syria, particularly near Damascus. These ongoing actions have raised significant concerns regarding regional stability and international law.

Baqayi expressed serious alarm over what he described as the “expansionist and aggressive actions” of the Israeli regime within Syrian territory. He has called upon the international community, especially Islamic nations, to take a stand against Israel’s aggression and implement immediate measures to halt these violations.

Key points from Baqayi’s statement include:

  • Israeli attacks on Syria represent a clear violation of the U.N. Charter and international law.
  • Such actions threaten Syrian sovereignty and can be considered a form of invasion.
  • There is an urgent need for the United Nations Security Council to respond promptly to these aggressions.

On Tuesday, the Israeli military executed air strikes targeting multiple locations in the Damascus countryside and Daraa province. This escalation follows Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s recent announcements advocating for the “demilitarization” of the region.

Netanyahu has been clear in stating that Israel has no plans to withdraw from southern Syria, asserting that Israeli forces will prevent Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) militants from entering areas south of Damascus. This comes after HTS forces executed a surprise offensive that led to the overthrow of Bashar al-Assad’s government in December.

As tensions rise, the international community watches closely, and many are calling for a unified response to ensure peace and security in the region.
