Iran Urges Global Condemnation of Ongoing Israeli Strikes in Syria

Iran’s Ambassador to the United Nations, Amir-Sa’eed Iravani, has made significant remarks regarding the ongoing occupation of the Syrian Golan Heights by Israel, highlighting its implications for international law and regional stability. His statements shed light on the urgent need for international attention to the humanitarian crisis in Syria.

During a recent session of the United Nations Security Council focused on the situation in the Middle East, Iravani outlined several critical points regarding Syria’s current challenges:

  1. Humanitarian Aid and Sanctions: Iran welcomes the increasing global consensus on the necessity of unpoliticized humanitarian and reconstruction aid in Syria. Recent decisions by the United States, European Union, and the United Kingdom to lift and suspend certain unilateral sanctions are seen as positive steps, although they are long overdue. Iravani emphasized that the suffering of the Syrian populace should not be exploited for political gains, urging for the complete removal of all unilateral sanctions, which he deemed illegal under the UN Charter.
  2. Sovereignty and Security: The ambassador underscored Syria’s right to maintain security and peace within its territory. However, he noted that foreign military presence and illegal occupation, particularly by Israel in the Golan Heights, significantly undermine this stability. Iravani condemned Israel’s military actions, including the May 2 airstrike, which he attributed to U.S. support, and reiterated the need for all foreign forces to withdraw from Syria.
  3. Combating Terrorism: Iran expressed its commitment to combat all forms of terrorism in Syria, particularly the movement of foreign terrorist fighters (FTFs) to other conflict zones. The ambassador called for the Security Council to take decisive action against these threats and welcomed disarmament efforts by groups such as the PKK as a positive step toward regional stability.
  4. Syria’s Political Future: Iravani emphasized that the future of Syria should be determined by its own people, free from external influences. He reaffirmed Iran’s support for an inclusive political process in line with Security Council resolution 2254, advocating for dialogue between various Syrian factions as a means to achieve national integration.

Iran’s commitment to Syria’s sovereignty and the necessity for a peaceful resolution reflects its position as a neighboring country deeply invested in the region’s stability. The ambassador concluded by urging inclusive dialogue that respects the rights of all Syrians, reinforcing Iran’s role in supporting a peaceful and integrated Syria.
