Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has denounced recent rebel attacks in Syria as “a US-Zionist plan following the Zionist regime’s defeat in Lebanon and Palestine,” Iran’s state media reports.
In a phone call with his Syrian counterpart, Araghchi reiterated Iran’s support to the Syrian government, the media says.
Rebel groups in Syria launched an offensive on areas controlled by government forces earlier this week, on the same day that a ceasefire began between Syria’s ally Hezbollah and Israel.
The rebel offensive is the largest since March 2020 when Russia, which backs Syrian President Bashar Assad, and Turkey, which supports the rebels, agreed to a ceasefire that ended years of fighting that uprooted millions of Syrians opposed to Assad’s rule.
