Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister for Arab and African Affairs Hossein Amir-Abdollahian made the announcement on Thursday, expressing confidence that Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s reform plans and the measures to counter armed foreign interventions in the country will set Syria on the path to resistance, stability, and security.
On Thursday, an Iranian plane carrying 40 tons of humanitarian aid from Iran arrived in the Syrian capital, Damascus.
Meanwhile, Iran’s Ambassador to Syria Mohammad Reza Raouf Sheibani has announced Iranian plans to send off three more cargos including foodstuff, ambulances, tents and blankets to Syria’s crisis-hit areas.
Iran’s Red Crescent Society announced on Wednesday that the supplies are sent in response to a call by the Syrian Red Crescent Society.
Syria has been experiencing unrest since mid-March 2011, and many people, including security forces, have lost their lives in the violence.
The West and the Syrian opposition accuse the government of killing the protesters. But Damascus blames ”outlaws, saboteurs and armed terrorist groups” for the unrest, insisting that it is being orchestrated from abroad.
