Tehran’s foreign ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei lashed out on Thursday against unspecified media reports on Iran “interfering in Syria’s internal affairs” as “baseless”.
Iran was committed to “supporting the territorial integrity and national unity of Syria and the formation of an inclusive political system,” he said in a statement.
Syria’s new leaders have criticised Iran over its role in Syria over the years.
“Iran must respect the will of the Syrian people and the sovereignty and safety of its country,” Syria’s new foreign minister wrote on social media site X on Tuesday.
“We warn them against spreading chaos in Syria and hold them responsible for the consequences of their recent statements,” he added.
