Iran strongly condemns Israel attack on Syria
In a telephone conversation on Sunday, Salehi and Syrian Foreign
Minister Walid al-Muallem discussed the latest developments in the
Arab country.
The Iranian and Syrian ministers exchanged views on ways to settle
the crisis in Syria through peaceful channels and prepare the
grounds for holding national dialogue as the only way to end months
of unrest in the country.
Syrian state television reported on Sunday that Israel has attacked
the Jamraya Research Center, located northwest of Damascus.
Sunday's attack was Israel's third strike inside Syria since late
January. Israel declined to comment.
The attack came soon after an Israeli official said his country had
carried out an air strike earlier in the week "targeting missiles
in Syria intended for the Lebanese militant group Hezbullah."
The Iranian minister praised what he called "Syria's resistance against enemy plots" and said in reference to the airstrike that such "brutal measures" run counter to basic human principles.
