Nournews: The trilateral meeting of the foreign ministers of Iran, Iraq, and Syria will be held today in Baghdad, Iraq, while, during the past week, terrorists have committed widespread atrocities in Syria and occupied certain lands in Aleppo, Idlib, and Hama.
Although Western media outlets and authorities want to whitewash terrorists and legitimize their atrocities in their views by describing them with words such as Syrian opposition, Assad's opposition, popular forces, and popular resistance against Assad, as well as the opponents of Damascus' sovereignty, the reality is that the true nature of terrorists, such as Tahrir al-Sham, has been proven, and words cannot whitewash it. Just as the West has not been able to hide the terrorist nature of the Zionist regime, hypocrites (Munafiqin), and others.
The trilateral meeting in Baghdad will be held, with its milestone being a unified and joint view on regional convergence, fighting terrorism, and combating the agents of insecurity in the region. Syria has always been at the forefront of fighting terrorism and, since 2011, has been combating contract terrorism. Even the promises of Western powers and some regional countries could not stop Syria from resisting, as the evidence shows that the recent developments of terrorism were the result of Syrian resistance and its presence on the front lines of resistance.
At the same time, Tehran emphasizes that full support for Syria is a realistic strategy for the stability and security of the entire region. Meanwhile, Damascus is an old friend that stood with Iran during the eight years of the Iraq-imposed war against Iran, and Tehran never leaves its old friends alone. In addition to that, Tehran emphasizes that what Syria is going through is part of a bigger conspiracy against the entire region, against which everyone must support Syria.
he trilateral meeting in Baghdad is being held, while, prior to that, senior Iranian authorities, including President Masoud Pezeshkian, emphasized the necessity of supporting the Syrian administration, army, and nation in talks with the heads of regional countries. Meanwhile, Iran’s Foreign Minister, Abbas Araghchi, traveled to Syria and Turkey before and will attend the Astana Format meeting in Qatar after his meeting in Baghdad to talk with Russian and Turkish authorities, so that diplomatic steps, along with field innovations, can be taken to support Syria.
Abbas Araghchi had said earlier that, 'The internal issues of Syria are related to Syria and its people. Our approach concerning Syria is based on the fact that Syria is at the forefront of fighting the Zionist regime and stems from a position of power. Our approach is that whatever happens in Syria is largely done under the influence of foreign forces, particularly the Zionist regime, with the aim of removing Syria from the resistance axis.' Iraqi authorities also emphasize the necessity of supporting Syria and fighting against terrorism and its supporters. Iraq's Prime Minister, Mohammad Shia al-Sudani, in a telephone conversation with Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, the Turkish President, said that Iraq cannot be a mere observer of the dangerous consequences of conditions in Syria. He added, 'Iraq has suffered losses from terrorism and the consequences of the domination of extremists over parts of Syria and will not allow it to be repeated. The Iraqi Prime Minister emphasized the importance of respecting Syria’s integrity and sovereignty and said that Baghdad will do its best to secure both Iraq and Syria.'"
The fundamental notion is that Iran and Iraq, while emphasizing securing Syria’s sovereignty and the determination of its domestic destiny by its people, have understood the necessity and importance of convergence and unified decisions in supporting Syria. The undeniable reality is that not paying attention to these factors will have heavy consequences for the entire region.
First, past records show that terrorists know no limitations or boundaries to their atrocities and occupations, and their behavior is similar to that of the US and Zionists in that they are not satisfied with this regard. Although the enemies of security want to pretend that the developments in Syria are not related to other countries, such as Iran and Iraq, the bitter experience of ISIS makes the emptiness of this claim clear. There was a time when ISIS was only active in Syria; now, the scope of its terrorist attacks has spilled over into Iraq. If it weren’t for the Fatwa of clergymen to mobilize the people, and if there had not been great men like General Qassem Soleimani and Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, terrorists would have been a threat to Iraq and then to other countries.
Top authorities of the Kurdistan region, including Barzani, have proven the insatiable nature of terrorists and their supporters and the necessity of regional unity. For instance, Barzani said, 'When ISIS came toward Erbil, none of the Western countries that were committed to securing the Kurdistan region supported it, and only Qassem Soleimani pushed them away with his presence.'
Terrorists have been seeking the same policies and goals for destabilizing the region, including Iraq and Iran. Therefore, the Baghdad-Tehran approach in full support of Damascus is a primitive and defensive approach based on bitter past experience, to avoid being surprised once more by terrorists.
Second, although Westerners claim they have no interference in the domestic issues of Syria, all evidence shows that terrorists have formed under their influence and have been reinforced once more. Sources close to Iraqi groups announced that 17 Western intelligence offices are present in Syria, supporting Tahrir al-Sham. Meanwhile, a member who recently separated from the terrorist group revealed Ukraine's significant role in training the members of this group on how to use drones.
At the same time, the Americans have transferred many weapons into Syria over the past few months and bombed the positions of the Syrian Army. The more important point is that the Americans justify their presence under the guise of self-defense, while the nature of their presence in Syria is that of an occupying force, with no function other than destabilizing the country and supporting separatists and terrorists.
Of course, the Americans are not alone in these crimes, and part of the crisis-making equation in Syria stems from the Zionists' developments and goals after their failure in Gaza and Lebanon to destabilize the entire region.
What is happening in Syria is an American-Zionist plot for the entire region, and some countries are falling into the trap of this game due to miscalculations. Supporting terrorists will certainly come at a heavy cost for them. What happens at the Baghdad meeting is a wise, logical, and forward-looking approach from Iran, Iraq, and Syria to secure the safety of the three countries and the entire region.
The fire of terrorism ignited by the West and the Zionists in Syria will not be limited to Syria and has already targeted the entire region. Therefore, the approach of regional countries in supporting Damascus is an important principle, and the Baghdad meeting is an important step toward achieving this goal.
