SAEDNEWS: Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi condemned the Israeli military strikes on Damascus on Wednesday, calling for concerted efforts at the regional and international levels to stop the Zionist regime’s aggression.
“Unfortunately, this was all too predictable. Which capital is next?” Araqchi said in a post on his X account on Wednesday night, hours after the Israeli regime launched a series of intense strikes on Damascus.
“The rabid Israeli regime knows no bounds and only grasps one language. The world, including the region, must unite to end its unhinged aggression,” Araqchi stated.
“Iran supports the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Syria, and will always stand with the Syrian people,” he added.
Israel carried out a series of airstrikes on central Damascus on Wednesday, hitting a compound that houses the Ministry of Defense and areas near the presidential palace.
The Israeli regime also struck targets in southern Syria, where fighting between Druze groups, Bedouin tribes, and Syrian security forces has continued for more than four days. According to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, more than 250 people have been killed in Suwayda province during the clashes.
The Zionist regime, which already occupies the Syrian Golan Heights, said its operations aim to protect the Druze minority – whom it considers potential allies – and to strike pro-government forces accused of attacking them. Syria rejected this and called the attack a “flagrant assault”.
