Unilateral sanctions against Syrians impede improving humanitarian and economic situation, Iravani says

Tehran, SANA- Iranian Ambassador and Permanent Representative to the UN Amir Saeed Iravani said that the continuation of unilateral sanctions against Syrians is a key impediment to improving Syria’s humanitarian and economic plight.

“Aid operations in Syria must focus on infrastructure restoration, reconstruction initiatives, and overall economic recovery. Such an approach has the potential to create an environment favorable to the voluntarily return of refugees and displaced people to their homes.” Iravani said at UN Security council session on the situation in Syria.

He pointed out that the US and its relevant Specialized Agencies granted the Syrian government permission for a six-month period to use Bab al-Hawa cross-border to deliver humanitarian assistance as of July13 , stressing that “respecting Syria’s sovereignty and territorial integrity throughout the process is crucial in addressing the humanitarian crisis effectively.”

Iran remain committed in its support of the Special Envoy’s efforts and his engagement with all parties towards resolving crisis in Syria, Iravani stressed.

Iran once more condemns the continuous acts of aggression and military attacks by the Israeli entity against Syria, particularly those that target civilian infrastructure, alongside the persistent occupation of Syrian Golan, the diplomat indicated.
