Iran Advocates for Inclusive Government in Syria at United Nations Security Council

Iran has officially expressed its support for the establishment of an “inclusive” government in Syria, advocating for “free elections” and “comprehensive national dialogue.” This statement was made during a recent United Nations Security Council meeting focused on the situation in the Middle East, particularly Syria.

During the session, Iran’s Ambassador to the United Nations, Saeid Iravani, highlighted Syria’s ongoing humanitarian and economic challenges. Below is a summary of Ambassador Iravani’s key points:

  1. Humanitarian and Economic Challenges: Syria is facing severe humanitarian and economic difficulties. To address these challenges, it is crucial to prioritize the reconstruction of essential infrastructure and early recovery projects. However, these efforts are significantly obstructed by the unjust extraterritorial sanctions imposed by the U.S. and EU, which must be fully lifted to facilitate recovery and allow the safe return of Syrian refugees.
  2. Threat of Terrorism: The resurgence of terrorism in Syria is an urgent issue. The presence of foreign terrorist fighters (FTFs) poses a threat to both regional and global security. A structured process for repatriation is essential to restore stability, and Iran is committed to working with international partners to combat this threat.
  3. Rights of Communities: It is vital to respect the rights of all communities in Syria in accordance with international law. Political pressure aimed at displacing minorities, especially Alawites and Shiites, must cease, and access to religious sites should be unrestricted.
  4. Israeli Violations: Israel continues to breach Syria’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. The Security Council needs to take decisive action against these violations and demand Israel’s withdrawal from occupied Syrian territories.
  5. Support for Syrian Sovereignty: Iran reaffirms its commitment to Syria’s sovereignty and independence. The future governance of Syria should be determined by its people without external interference. Iran supports the formation of an inclusive government through free elections, as outlined in Resolution 2254 (2015).
  6. Rejection of U.S. Allegations: Iran categorically rejects the unfounded allegations made by the United States, which appear to serve the interests of Washington rather than reflect the reality on the ground. The U.S. has consistently violated Syria’s sovereignty under the guise of counterterrorism.
  7. Commitment to Peace: In conclusion, Iran is dedicated to collaborating with the United Nations and regional partners to achieve lasting peace and stability in Syria, supporting the efforts of UN Special Envoy Geir Pedersen.

Iran’s commitment to an inclusive dialogue and the restoration of Syria is pivotal for the country’s future and regional stability.
