Iran's First Vice President, Mohammad Mokhber, said that the fury of the United States and the Israeli occupation stems from the disruption of their perceived dominance resulting from misconceptions in Operation Al-Aqsa Flood.

During his meeting with Syrian Prime Minister Hussein Arnous, Mokhber emphasized that the Iranian government and people have distinct perspectives on Syria, considering peace, independence, success, and prosperity for the Syrian people as their priorities.

Arnous referred to the Israeli atrocities and crimes taking place in Gaza these days, involving killings, destruction, and aggression against the Palestinian people, stating that the world is currently witnessing unprecedented events in history.

He further stressed that these are crimes against humanity, "Unfortunately, the international community does not show an appropriate response to these crimes."

Elsewhere in his remarks, he affirmed that the Israeli entity and the United States have failed to achieve their goals in Gaza, stressing that the Axis of Resistance has transformed into a robust force that adversaries are unable to overcome.

"Just as the terrorist organization ISIS, acting as US proxy, failed to achieve its goals due to the fierce resistance from the Syrian government and people, the Zionist entity will also be unable to control the region thanks to the resilient resistance of Gazans."

'Some want to erase Gaza from the world map'

On his part, the Syrian Prime Minister described the Israeli aggression on Gaza as shocking and beyond human imagination.

He found it extremely startling that such Israeli attacks are happening "before the eyes of the world".

It appears that some want to erase Gaza from the world map, but we hope that the Resistance axis collectively can eliminate these conspiracies."
 
In a related context, the Syrian Prime Minister described the relations between Iran and Syria as deep, strong, historical, and strategic, stating that the government and people of Syria will not forget the support and honorable stances from the government and the people of Iran.

Arnous emphasized that Iran and Syria, due to their pursuit of independence, always face extensive pressures from global arrogance, the United States, and Western countries. 

He further added that Western countries always exert pressure on Syria as one of the fundamental pillars of the axis of resistance, affirming that the Syrian government and the Syrian people will not change their stances and will always move on the path of Resistance.

He emphasized that Syria aligns with Iran to strengthen the axis of Resistance, which will play a decisive role in the region.

Improving bilateral ties

The Syrian Prime Minister highlighted the importance of Iran's role in the reconstruction of Syria, stating that Damascus will undoubtedly make Iran the primary partner and the leading state in the reconstruction process.

The objectives of the visit of the Syrian Prime Minister to Iran include his participation in the 15th meeting of the Joint High Commission for Economic Cooperation between the two countries. In addition, the Syrian Prime Minister is scheduled to meet with the Iranian President, the head of the Islamic Consultative Assembly, and the Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council of Iran.

In line with executing the accords established during the recent visit of Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi to Syria, the signing of the predetermined deals will also occur. These agreements which were concluded after joint committee discussions between the two nations will be officially documented to solidify cooperation during the ongoing visit.

It's worth noting that broad economic cooperation in areas such as customs, banking, the establishment of joint trade zones, tourism, energy, and electricity supplies will be also discussed and put into effect by both the Iranian and Syrian sides during this visit.
