TEHRAN - During his visit to Syria, Majid Mirahmadi, the deputy interior minister for security and police affairs, held substantial discussions with Syrian Minister of Interior Mohammad Khaled al-Rahmoun on Sunday.

The talks centered on the strong strategic ties between Iran and Syria, highlighting unwavering support from Iran's leadership and its people across various domains. The agenda delved into the deepening of bilateral relations, with a specific focus on countering terrorism, fighting cybercrime, and the exchange of experiences in different domains. Security matters took center stage in these conversations as both sides explored the multifaceted connections between the two nations.

Mirahmadi provided a comprehensive overview of Syria's security landscape, addressing issues such as the fight against occupation, counter-terrorism efforts, and recent developments in the confrontation against the Zionist regime. He emphasized Iran's enduring support for Syria, particularly during challenging periods, underlining the intertwined resilience of Iranian and Syrian martyrs. The talks shed light on transformations in the strategic landscape of the region, with the Zionist regime facing unprecedented challenges despite unwavering support from the United States and Western allies.

Commending Hezbollah's pivotal role and unwavering determination on the battlefield, Mirahmadi acknowledged the legitimacy of the Resistance in Iraq against the U.S. and the Zionist regime. The discussions extended to the legitimate attacks by the Zionist regime on the resilient people of Gaza, prompting a call for an end to such assaults. Mirahmadi praised Yemeni Resistance Movement Ansarullah's impactful actions and leadership in the Red Sea.

In conclusion, the discussions emphasized Syria's crucial role in the Resistance Front, citing substantial victories and successful navigation through economic warfare and sanctions under the leadership of President Bashar al-Assad. 

Mirahmadi affirmed the Islamic Republic's courage across various arenas, dismissing any unfounded attribution of attacks by Yemeni fighters to the Islamic Republic of Iran. 

“These Resistance fighters take full responsibility for their actions, boldly acknowledging their role and showing no fear of threats from their adversaries,” the deputy interior minister stated.

US President Joe Biden and UK Foreign Secretary David Cameron have blamed Iran for Sunday’s attack near the border with Syria that killed three US military personnel and injured dozens of others.

The drone strike on Tower 22, a logistics support base, marked the first loss of American life by enemy fire since the start of the war in Gaza.
