Iran: US statements on establishing so-called “safe zone” are provocative and interfere in Syria’s internal affairs

Tehran, SANA- Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Abbas Mousavi said that recent statements made by US officials about establishing the so-called “safe zone” are provocative, worrisome, and constitute interference in Syria’s internal affairs.

Mousavi said in statement on Sunday that the US behavior in the northeast of Syria is a blatant aggression against Syria’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, and a violation of the international law principles and the UN Charter.

Syria had expressed categorical rejection of the agreement which was announced by the US and Turkish occupations on establishing the so-called “safe zone”, affirming that it constitutes a flagrant aggression against Syria’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.
