Iran, Russia, Syria Are Keeping Up Fight until Elimination of Terror
Local Editor
The defense chiefs of Iran, Russia and Syria called for closer trilateral cooperation in the battle against terrorism, emphasizing the need to keep up the fight until the eradication of violence and terror threats.
On Wednesday night, Iranian Defense Minister Brigadier General Hossein Dehqan sat down for three-way talks with his Russian and Syrian counterparts, Sergei Shoigu and Fahd Jassem al-Freij, on the sidelines of the VI Moscow Conference on International Security.
The three sides exchanged views on the latest developments in Syria as well as the counterterrorism operations underway in the crisis-hit country.
They also called for "convergent efforts" by Tehran, Moscow and Damascus towards uprooting violence and Takfiri terrorism.
The trio further slammed a recent US missile attack against a Syrian army airfield as well as Washington's blatant support for terrorists, urging an end to such evil acts of violence, which facilitate the spread of terror activities to elsewhere in the Middle East region and the entire world.
All forces should be mobilized to restore peace to Syria and protect the country's territorial integrity in the face of terrorists, the defense ministers said.
In June 2016, the three senior military officials held a similar meeting in the Iranian capital, Tehran, where they agreed to step up trilateral cooperation in the fight against terrorism.
Syria has been the scene of a foreign-sponsored crisis since March 2011. Backed by a number of Western states and their regional allies, a myriad of terrorist outfits have been operating there to topple the legitimate and elected government in Damascus.
