Iran warns rebel advance in Syria poses regional threat
Iran’s Foreign Minister, Abbas Araghchi, during a meeting with Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani, described the advance of rebels in Syria as a serious threat to the region.
The Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, on Friday, December 6, quoted Araghchi as saying that the lack of support for Syria would turn the country into a breeding ground for terrorism.
Meanwhile, the Iraqi Prime Minister expressed his country’s support for Syria.
In his meeting with the Iraqi Foreign Minister, Abbas Araghchi also voiced concern about the rebels’ advance in various Syrian cities.
It is worth noting that Iran and Russia are allies of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, cooperating to counter the rebels, including the Hayat Tahrir al-Sham group.
Rebels captured the key city of Hama yesterday and have now entered Homs today.
The rebel advances in various Syrian cities have sparked serious security concerns across the Middle East.
The growing instability in Syria due to rebel advances is contributing to heightened tensions in the region. Iran’s strong stance on supporting Assad and its concerns about the consequences of a collapse in Syria reflect the broader geopolitical struggle in the Middle East.
As the situation unfolds, it is crucial for international powers to assess their involvement and the potential implications for regional security. The ongoing conflict continues to impact neighboring countries, particularly Iraq, which is closely monitoring developments in Syria.
