Iran Champions a Sovereign Syria: A Stand Against Terrorism

In a recent statement to the United Nations Security Council, Iran’s Ambassador, H.E. Mr. Amir Saeid Iravani, emphasized Iran’s steadfast commitment to the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Syria. This declaration comes amid escalating tensions in the region, particularly concerning foreign interventions. Here’s a detailed account of the key points raised by Ambassador Iravani regarding the situation in Syria.

On April 25, 2025, during a meeting focused on “The situation in the Middle East: (Syria),” Ambassador Iravani commended France for its presidency of the Security Council and acknowledged the past leadership of Denmark. His remarks highlighted several pressing issues affecting Syria:

  1. Commitment to Sovereignty: Iran reaffirmed its unwavering dedication to Syria’s sovereignty, political independence, and territorial integrity. Ambassador Iravani called for the immediate and unconditional withdrawal of all foreign forces illegally present in Syria, emphasizing that this is vital for restoring peace.
  2. Condemnation of Israeli Actions: The ambassador condemned the Israeli regime’s military actions, which he described as blatant violations of international law and a serious threat to international peace. He pointed out that the latest UNDOF report confirmed Israel’s illegal incursions into the buffer zone, which have led to further instability.
  3. Humanitarian Crisis: Despite the UN’s efforts, Syria remains in the grip of a severe humanitarian crisis. Ambassador Iravani noted that approximately 16.7 million people, over 70% of the population, are in need of aid, marking the highest level of need since 2011. He highlighted that only 10% of the required funding has been raised to address this crisis.
  4. Concerns Over Sanctions: The ambassador expressed deep concerns over the continued U.S. sanctions on Syria, labeling them as unjustified. He argued that these sanctions hinder reconstruction efforts, negatively impact the economy, and exacerbate the suffering of the Syrian population.
  5. Call for Accountability: In light of the tragic civilian casualties in Latakia and Tartus, particularly among the Alawite community, Iran supports a transparent investigation. Ambassador Iravani stressed the need for Syria’s interim authorities to ensure accountability and protection for all communities in accordance with international law.
  6. Fighting Terrorism: Iran highlighted the ongoing threat posed by foreign terrorist fighters (FTFs) in Syria. The ambassador insisted that these groups must be returned to their home countries and held accountable, reaffirming Iran’s readiness to collaborate with responsible partners to combat terrorism.
  7. Support for Political Processes: Iran advocates for a Syrian-led political process in accordance with Security Council Resolution 2254 (2015). This process should involve free elections, national dialogue, and the formation of an inclusive government that represents all Syrians.
  8. Consistent Position on Syria: Finally, Ambassador Iravani reiterated Iran’s clear and unwavering stance on Syria, which supports a sovereign, stable, and united nation free from terrorism and foreign interference. He categorically rejected any attempts to misrepresent Iran’s position as politically motivated.

In conclusion, Ambassador Iravani’s statement underscores the complexities surrounding the Syrian conflict and the importance of international cooperation in addressing the humanitarian crisis, restoring peace, and respecting sovereignty. The situation remains critical, and the call for immediate action from the international community is more pressing than ever.

As global attention remains fixed on Syria, understanding the implications of foreign interventions and the humanitarian needs of the Syrian people is crucial. The ongoing dialogue within the UN Security Council will play a vital role in shaping the future of Syria and the wider Middle Eastern region.
