Iranian FM to Recent Israeli Aggression in Syria: This Was Entirely Predictable
Abbas Araghchi warns the world must unite against Israel's reckless violence, reaffirms Iran's support for Syria's sovereignty
Iran, PUREWILAYAH.COM – Iranian Foreign Minister Seyyed Abbas Araghchi has condemned the recent Israeli attacks on Syria, describing the escalation as “entirely predictable.”
In a post on X (formerly Twitter) on Wednesday night, Araghchi wrote:
“Unfortunately, this was completely predictable. Where is the next capital?”
He further added that the “savage and unrestrained Zionist regime recognizes no limits and only understands one language.” He urged the international community, especially the region, to unite in order to put an end to what he called “mad aggression.”
Araghchi reiterated that the Islamic Republic of Iran firmly supports Syria’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, and will always stand by the Syrian people.
Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Warns of Dangerous Consequences
Earlier, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmail Baghaei also expressed deep concern and strongly condemned the deadly clashes in the Suwayda region in southern Syria, which resulted in the killing of dozens of civilians.
He emphasized that the continued inaction of the UN Security Council in response to the Zionist regime's aggressive actions across the region is “extremely dangerous” and emboldens the occupying regime.
Baghaei highlighted the ongoing Israeli military aggression targeting Syrian sovereignty, while Israel continues to occupy large swathes of Syrian territory.
Call for Regional and Islamic Unity Against Israeli Violations
Baghaei underscored the necessity for countries in the region and the Islamic world to take a firm stance against Israel’s lawlessness and crimes, including its unprecedented genocide in Gaza and its repeated assaults on Syria and Lebanon.
He called on the international community to fulfill its responsibility to stop Israel’s grave violations of international law and the United Nations Charter.
The situation remains volatile, especially amid sporadic clashes between Syrian Druze groups and factions linked to extremist commander Julani.
On one hand, religious and ethnic minorities in Syria fear the authoritarian and extremist actions of the new ruling structure led by Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham.
On the other, Israel appears to be exploiting these dynamics—repeatedly striking Syrian military assets and allegedly supporting ethnic minorities—to fragment Syria into several weak and divided states. (PW)
