Terrorist attack on Aleppo, countryside serves 'Israel': Syrian FM

Earlier, Syrian Foreign Minister Bassam Sabbagh stated that the terrorist attack carried out by large numbers of militants since early Wednesday on the city of Aleppo and its countryside serves "the objectives of the Israeli occupation entity and its sponsors."  

Sabbagh emphasized that Syria has consistently warned of the clear coordination between the Israeli assaults and the offensives launched by terrorist groups against the country.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi had earlier remarked that the reactivation of terrorist groups in Syria is part of a US-Israeli plan following "Israel’s" defeat in Lebanon and Palestine.

In a phone call with his Syrian counterpart, Araghchi reaffirmed Iran’s unwavering support for the Syrian government, people, and army in combating terrorism, safeguarding the region, and fostering security and stability.

On Thursday, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmail Baghaei warned that terrorist group operations in Aleppo, Idlib, and their outskirts—areas designated as part of the "de-escalation zones"—constitute a blatant violation of the de-escalation agreement and jeopardize its achievements.

Baghaei also underscored the "international community’s responsibility to combat terrorism," cautioning against "the repercussions of inaction in the face of the resurgence of these groups in Syria, including the spread of chaos and instability in the region."
