Iran demands lifting of US unilateral sanctions imposed on Syria

New York, SANA-– Iran’s Permanent Representative and Ambassador to the UN in New York, Amir Saied Iravani, has reiterated his country’s call for the removal of US sanctions against Syria, and providing neutral and non-politicized humanitarian aid to all regions in Syria.

“The humanitarian situation in Syria remains dire and the Syrian people continue to suffer severe economic hardships and the politicization of humanitarian aid and the obstruction of international support for Syria’s reconstruction largely driven by the U.S. and its Western allies have prolonged the conflict and intensified the suffering of the Syrian people.” Iran’s Ambassador and Permanent Representative to the UN Amir Saeed Iravani, said during Security Council session on the situation in the Middle East and Syria.

Iravani also expressed his country’s condemnation of the ongoing Israeli aggression against Syria and its continued occupation of the Syrian Golan, calling on the Security Council to condemn these criminal acts and take decisive measures to stop all its aggressive actions against Syria and Lebanon and stop the ongoing genocidal war against the Palestinian people.

“We share the view expressed by the representative of the Syrian Arab Republic that any political solution must include ending the illegal presence of U.S. forces, halting their exploitation of Syrian resources, and stopping their support for terrorist groups and militias.”he added .

He pointed out that with the continuous support of the US and Uk, the Israeli occupation entity continues to commit war crimes and systematic crimes against the Palestinian people in Gaza and the West Bank, violating the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Palestine and Lebanon without any punishment, warning that these destructive acts carried out by the Zionist entity in the region constitute a serious threat to international peace and security.
