Mikdad, Bagheri discuss latest developments … Israeli crimes will not go unpunished

Damascus, Foreign and Expatriates Minister, Fayssal Mikdad, discussed with Iranian Acting Foreign Minister, Ali Bagheri Kani, the latest developments in the region, especially the Israeli escalation and its recent attacks on a number of countries in the region, including the crime committed by the Zionist entity in Tehran which led to the martyrdom of Ismail Haniyeh as well as the aggression that led to the martyrdom of Fouad Shukr in Lebanon. Mikdad, in a telephone call with Bagheri, said that the Zionist entity goes far beyond in its policy of escalation, expands the scope of its aggression in the region and commits war crimes and genocide in the occupied Palestinian territories, particularly in Gaza Strip which must not go unpunished. 'Syria stands by Iran and the Resistance forces to confront the Israeli crimes,' Mikdad said. He also condemned the collusion of the United States of America and Western countries with the crimes of the Zionist entity, as they are partners in the aggression against Iran, L ebanon, Yemen and Syria. In turn, Minister Bagheri Kani stressed that what the Zionist entity is doing is the result of its failure in its war against the Palestinian people and its attempt to export its crisis and expand the circle of war in the region, adding the recent attacks by the Zionist entity on Yemen, Lebanon, Tehran, and before that on Syria, which were carried out with American and Western support, will not go unpunished. He expressed his country's thanks and gratitude to Syria for its continuous support to Iran and its people, especially in light of those circumstances to which region is going through. The two ministers stressed the continuation of consultation and coordination and exerting every effort to stop the Zionist attacks, defeat Israeli and Western plots, and achieve security and stability in the region and the world.
