TABNAK, Dec, 01 : His arrival in Damascus follows a surprise attack in Western Aleppo by terrorist groups on Wednesday.

“We firmly support the Syrian army and government,” he said upon his arrival in Syria.

Araqchi reiterated that the offensive, which was launched almost simultaneously as a ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah took effect in neighboring Lebanon, was a plot by the Israeli regime to destabilize the region.

The senior Iranian diplomat will visit Turkey on the second leg of his regional tour.
