Iranian President Pezeshkian Calls On Islamic Countries To Help Solve Syria's Problems

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian called on Islamic countries to help resolve Syria's problems, warning of plans to expand foreign intervention in Western Asia.

Speaking at a joint government and parliamentary meeting on Sunday, President Pezeshkian said only regional countries could build security in West Asia, no presence of foreigners in the region was required.

"I hope that the problems that arise in Syria can be resolved with the help of Islamic countries, and Muslim countries will not allow conflicts within the country to become the basis for further foreign intervention in the region," he said, quoted by IRNA December 2.

President Pezeshkian stressed that Iran is not seeking war and bloodshed in any way, saying those who claim to fight for human rights and peace are those who in practice cause war and bloodshed.

"For me, as a human being, regardless of my position, it is not imagined that a regime will allow itself to drop tons of bombs on women, children and helpless civilians in hospitals and schools," he said, referring to the genocide war of the Israeli regime in Gaza.

President Pezeshkian further regretted that the Zionist regime had killed ten thousand children in the war in Gaza and Lebanon, while human rights defenders were 'drain' watching only.

And it is very embarrassing, he continued, that the disaster was carried out with the support of the Americas and European countries as well as their weapons.

President Pezeshkian also said Iran has no greed for the borders of any neighboring country.

"This government has tried to resolve misunderstandings in bilateral relations between neighboring countries, and in this case, we are in a better situation in the region," he explained.

"For example, this is the first time all countries in the region have condemned Israel's aggression against Iran, and I appreciate neighboring countries for this right attitude," he added, referring to Israeli airstrikes in Iran on October 26.
