2024-12-15 Syria-Lebanon-Iran

[ENGLISH.ALMANAR.COM.LB] Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has warned that Syria is facing a ''difficult test'' from terrorist groups and foreign aggression, but says free elections can help the country overcome its challenges.

In an opinion piece published in the Lebanese newspaper Al-Akhbar, Araghchi highlighted the threats posed by terrorist organizations like al-Qaeda and ISIS, as well as the ''aggressions and military interventions'' of Israel and the United States.

''Today, Syria faces a difficult test. The threat posed by the movements of terrorist groups such as al-Qaeda and Daesh has heightened regional concerns, raising fears that the terrorists may turn Syria into their safe haven,'' Araghchi wrote.

The Iranian minister also condemned the ''barbaric crimes'' and ''encroachment'' of the Israeli regime on Syrian territory, saying the actions were aimed at ''the destruction of Syria's social foundations, scientific assets, economic infrastructure, and defensive capabilities.''

Araghchi was critical of regional countries that have expressed ''regret and concern'' over the situation, calling their words ''the most meaningless'' in the face of ongoing atrocities.

To address the crisis, Araghchi proposed ''free elections'' as a solution, stating that ''the way out of the current impasse and to keep the flag of independence aloft and uphold the pride and dignity of the Syrian nation is to preserve cohesion and foster a spirit of coexistence among the people through free elections.''

The Iranian foreign minister emphasized that ''respect for the people's votes is realized through free and fair elections that reflect the will of the Syrian nation and lead to the formation of a political system representing all segments of society.''
