Pezeshkian called the terrorist activism in Syria a US and Israeli plan

Iranian President Massoud Pezeshkian said during a telephone conversation with Russian leader Vladimir Putin that the activation of terrorists in Syria was part of the destabilization plan of Israel and the United States. The Iranian leader's press service said on December 2.

"The recent events are part of a dangerous plan by the US and the Zionist regime to disrupt the political geography of the region," the website said.

A telephone conversation between the two leaders took place earlier in the day. It was specified that the focus was on the aggravated situation in the Syrian Arab Republic. Also Putin and Pezeshkian emphasized the importance of coordinating joint actions within the Astana format, in which Turkey participates.

Shared anxiety: will Arab countries be able to help Syria in the fight against terrorists

Who is supporting Damascus today and what goals the extremists want to achieve

Earlier in the day, Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said after talks with his Iranian counterpart Abbas Araqchi that Ankara, Tehran and Moscow are going to hold a meeting in the Astana format on the situation in Syria in the near future. Fidan pointed out that it is very important for Damascus that the participants in the meeting express their views sincerely.

On the same day, the Syrian army's General Command said that the Arab republic's military together with Russia's Air and Space Forces (AFS) eliminated more than 400 terrorists in Aleppo and Idlib provinces. The militaries of the two countries continue to carry out missile and air strikes on the positions of Islamist groups. On December 1, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad emphasized that the Arab republic is capable of defeating terrorists with the help of allies and friends and will do it with the language of force.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi called the activation of terrorists in Syria part of the US plan against the backdrop of Israel's defeat in Lebanon. In turn, the White House denied its involvement in what is happening. In addition, Britain, the U.S., France and Germany called on all parties in Syria to de-escalate.

On November 28, the Syrian ministry reported that terrorist groups launched a major attack in Aleppo and Idlib, and the Syrian army began to repel it, causing serious damage to the equipment and manpower of militants.
