Iranian president urges Israeli withdrawal from Syrian territory


Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian calls for the withdrawal of Israel from Syrian territory following the fall of long-time Tehran ally Bashar al-Assad.

“The need for the Zionist regime to withdraw from the territories it occupied and the importance of respecting religious sentiments [in Syria], particularly regarding Shiite holy places and shrines, were among the concerns” raised in the meeting, says Pezeshkian in a briefing alongside visiting Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani.

The Iranian president also warns of the “reactivation of terrorist cells” in Syria.

During the visit, Sudani affirmed Iraq’s respect for “the will of the Syrian people and support for any political or constitutional system they choose themselves without external interference.”
