Iran’s top security chief says a trilateral meeting of defense ministers in Tehran indicates that Russia, Syria and Iran are determined in countering Takfiri terrorists.
Secretary of Supreme National Security Council Ali Shamkhani met separately with Russian and Syrian Defense Ministers Sergei Shoigu and Fahad Jassem Freij in Tehran on Thursday.
Shamkhani thanked “the courageous actions and policies of Russian President (Vladimir Putin) and his effective support in the comprehensive fight against terrorism in Syria.”
The Iranian official said the way the US and its Western allies are dealing with the Syria conflict demonstrates their deep commitment to Israel's security and interests in the region.
Shoigu said fighting terrorism is an international duty which all countries should work together to fulfill in order to have a more secure world.
Shamkhani said the three countries, besides boosting their military coordination in their fight on Takfiri terrorists, will be "activating political capacities more than before to achieve an all-inclusive solution in order to stop war and bloodshed" in Syria.
In his meeting with Freij, the Iranian official hailed the Syrian army’s recent victories, including its liberation of some areas from Takfiri militants.
