The top Iranian general on Tuesday held separate telephone conversations with Russian Defense Minister Andrey Belousov, Chief of the General Staff of the Iraqi Armed Forces Abdul Amir Rashid Yarallah, and Chief of the General Staff of the Syrian Army Abdul Karim Mahmoud Ibrahim to discuss the latest developments in Syria, a number of whose areas have fallen to terrorist Takfiri groups recently.
The Iranian general warned that the resurgence of Takfiri terrorist groups in Syria is the first episode of a “perilous scenario” for the region.
“The coincidence of this invasion (in Syria) and the Zionist regime’s fragile ceasefire with Lebanon reveals a coordinated American-Hebrew plot to weaken Syria, its allies and the resistance axis,” Major General Baqeri said.
The Iranian, Russian, and Iraqi generals shared views about the need for resolute support for the legitimate government of Syria and agreed to make the necessary arrangements to support the Syrian Army.
The four top commanders also called on the neighbors of Syria to take action to prevent backing for the Takfiri terrorist groups in Syria.
