Referring to the public protests against desecration of a sacred site in Syria, Baqaei expressed astonishment at baseless accusations against Iran made by certain media circles alleging interference in Syria’s internal affairs, and categorically rejected such claims.
He reiterated Iran’s principled stance in supporting Syria’s territorial integrity, national unity, and the establishment of an inclusive political system that ensures the participation of all political factions, ethnic groups, and religious communities. He emphasized the importance of respecting minority rights and safeguarding religious sites, the Foreign Ministry’s website reported.
