"This escalation will only increase Syria's determination to confront and eliminate terrorism in all Syrian territories," Assad said.

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian during the call with Assad said: "Undermining Syria's unity is a blow to the region, its stability and the unity of its countries, and is part of a Zionist-American plan."

"Iran is ready to provide all forms of support to Syria to eliminate terrorism and thwart the goals of its operators and supporters," Pezeshkian added.
