TEHRAN - Iran's Deputy Interior Minister for Security and Police Affairs highlighted the strong ties between Tehran and Damascus, emphasizing their unwavering commitment to the resistance front against the Zionist regime.

During his ongoing visit to Syria, Majid Mirahmadi met with Syrian People's Council Speaker Hammouda Sabbagh on Tuesday to discuss the deepening cooperation between the two nations.

Underscoring their shared geopolitical significance in the region and the Islamic world, Mirahmadi elaborated on the security agreements between Iran and Syria. 

He recalled the resilience of the Islamic Revolution, a stance that Washington found intolerable, leading to various conspiracies, including provoking Saddam Hussein's invasion of Iran.

Recalling the difficult period during the imposed war with Iraq, Mirahmadi praised the unwavering support of the late Syrian President Hafez al-Assad. Similarly, he affirmed Iran's unwavering support for Syria, particularly in its fight against terrorist groups backed by the Zionist regime and the United States.

"While over 70% of Syria was under terrorist control, the brave Iranian and Syrian nations stood united in the same trench and emerged victorious," he declared.

The Deputy Interior Minister asserted that the resistance front is on the verge of triumph, reiterating Iran's stance that the occupiers must vacate Syrian territory and the Syrian army must be fortified against the threats posed by the Zionist regime.

In conclusion, Mirahmadi emphasized the shared objectives, interests, and enemies of Iran and Syria, underscoring their commitment to regional stability and the unwavering pursuit of justice.

Mirahmadi 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.

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.
