The Islamic Republic of Iran’s delegation headed by Ali Asghar Khaji, senior advisor to the country’s foreign minister on special political affairs, has met with the Turkish delegation at the 18th Astana platform conference. In the meeting, Khaji reviewed the latest political and field developments in Syria. The senior advisor to Iran’s foreign minister underlined that Syria’s territorial integrity and sovereignty are untouchable. He also referred to the US’s illegal presence in the east of the Euphrates River. Khaji called for an end to the plundering of Syria’s natural resources and also to the US’s discriminatory behavior and its refusal to remove the anti-Syria sanctions. The Iranian diplomat then underscored the need for the lifting of all sanctions on Syria without any political precondition and discrimination. Khaji also condemned the Zionist regime’s increasing aggression and said Iran is worried about the continuation of Israeli attacks against Syria. In the meeting, the two sides reaffirmed the need for commitment to the preservation of Syria’s territorial integrity and sovereignty.
