Iran’s Defense Minister Brigadier General Aziz Nasirzadeh arrived in Syria on November 16 to strengthen defense and security ties between the two countries amid an escalation by Israel.
“Everyone knows the important position of the Syrian Arab Republic in Iranian foreign policy,” Nasirzadeh told reporters upon his arrival, according to the Syrian pro-government Al-Watan newspaper.
“We came to Damascus based on an invitation from the Syrian defense minister, and we will have meetings with political and military officials to discuss several common issues between the two countries, especially in the field of defense and security, aiming to expand cooperation and exchange expertise between the two sides,” he added.
Nasirzadeh also praised Syria’s experience in combating terrorism and its role in the regional “Axis of Resistance,” which opposes Israel.
“Syria has an ancient history and deep experience in combating terrorism, and it is a key supporter in the axis of resistance,” he said, stressing that “we are ready to provide all means of support to this friendly state,” the minister said.
On November 17, Nasirzadeh held talks on defense cooperation with his Syrian counterpart Lieutenant General Ali Mahmoud Abbas.
The two ministers highlighted the key role of the regional countries in ensuring security and called for the withdrawal of foreign forces from the region, according to the Iranian semi-official Tasnim News Agency.
Weighing plans for cooperation between Iran and Syria in the fight against terrorism, the two ministers also reviewed the regional developments and the resistance front’s conditions.
The visit came amid intensified Israeli attacks on Syria. Over the past week, strikes hit several key routes in the central governorate of Homs which were allegedly being used by Hezbollah to transfer weapons into Lebanon. Multiple buildings belonging to the Palestinian Islamic Jihad were also targeted within and near the capital, Damascus, with state media reporting the death of at least 15 people.
Iran may be about to up its military support for Syria. Recent Hebrew and Arab media reports which speculated that Damascus was slowly moving away from Tehran are likely false.
The Axis of Resistance, which includes Iran, Syria, Hezbollah, Hamas, Islamic Jihad, Houthis and the Islamic Resistance in Iraq, appears to be holding up stronger than before.

working together is the name of the game. supplying weapons is not even necessary anymore. just the knowledge and some vital parts.
sams en masse to hit back at the jews (the scum) contäinuous attacks by air on the syrian civil society. take away the f35s and the jews are reduced to a group of victims waiting for annihilation. cowards run when meeting oppositionj and the scum will pack their bags and skedaddle as fast and as far as possible.
what a wonderful sight it would be to see iaf planes falling from the skies. personally, i would just as soon see their bases completely obliterated and unusable…taking as many pilots and aircraft out at the same time as possible. it’s past due for israel to get what is coming to them. soon there will be a new diaspora back to their former countries. they should be denied entry as terrorists and be sent to ukr and then they can fight for their buddy zelensky.
well king charles ,who as you know ,but deny ,is the king of israel, won’t be putting you on his christmas card list.
typical wally the trollope’s spawn, favourite of the moderator’s pro nazi stance with the fake votes from the fakers imo allegedly from experience and observation. the beast of the anti christ ,jesus the jew son of mary ,the jewess, son of god ,the father . all the satanists unite ,all in it together to deceive the world. imo .from the book .
110 percent chance the israelis will at least try to kill him.

this is news? ok. iran is stirring the pot, yes. will assad and iran kiss and make up, prolly. why neither of them saw this zionist isis set up from the get go and didn’t work together sooner, will be an enduring mystery…
didn’t start working together? if they weren’t working together, iranians wouldn’t be there. this so-called issue between syria and iran is bs. as in complete bs. those ‘arab’ media? wouldn’t be from u.s. flunkies would they? israeli media trying every way from hell to divide them. way too late on that. iran needs to send the same a.d. that painted those f-35s. that by itself will cause much crapping of pants in israel and u.s.
talk about passive aggressive saul alisky rules for radicals boring crap.dull as dishwater and just as disposable.
no silly biden set it up .for his beliefs. same old crusade .use your brain .
air strikes create tunnel networks. good luck with whack a mole tactics. for every bridge or crossing bombed, you can bet a few tunnels will open in their place
načo tam asi tak šiel? určite to bude súvisieť z útokmi ktoré pácha izrael na iránske zastupiteľstvo v sýrii. irán by mohol sýrii pomôcť. mohli by dodať sýrii zbrane proti okupantom z usa. svetu mier!!!
if iran keeps aggressing israel, directly or by proxy, then eventually all the military-industrial sociopolitical ‘fun points’ will be depleted, and iran will live in smoky darkness with no refrigeration, internet, etc.
the shah of iran declared himself king of kings .that’s not allowed he was disposed off. they k ow the history and the bible they wrote both. they know how to incorporate the dough into their daily bread .

chumpo will do f… all. for all the zio money six times bankrupt chumpo has pocketed, he always looks after no. 1 and will welsh on any deals he makes. he knows if he attacks iran he is committing political suicide. shlomo is on his own. uncle sugar isn’t going to pull shlomo’s chestnuts out of the fire this time. better get those bags packed, shlomo.
they don’t like anyone .understand n o one .they pretend .
i’m currently conducting a very important research that should have been done four years ago. i’m trying to prove or disprove the claim that the 2020 us presidential election was rigged. i’ve already written over a dozen investigative article series and more need to be published. you can check them out at threatwatchers.org. your opinions would be highly appreciated especially regarding the reliability of my methods and sources.
