Damascus/Xinhua: Syrian Foreign Ministry on Wednesday declared the Syrian government's full solidarity with Iran and its right of self-defense, according to the state news agency SANA.
The Syrian ministry said it supports Iran's right of self-defense facing the US threats and the United States is held responsible for the escalation of the situation in the region, following the US assassination of Iranian top commander Qassem Soleimani by a U.S. strike on Friday.
It said the United States is responsible for all the repercussions of the escalated situation in the region, due to its reckless policy and arrogant mindset that make such actions.The United States should learn to give up the approach of subjugating others and trying to impose hegemony, it said.
The remarks came after Iran launched missile strikes against two Iraqi military bases housing U.S. forces in retaliation for the airstrike that killed Soleimani.
More than a dozen ballistic missiles targeted the al-Asad and Erbil military bases, the Pentagon said, and the U.S. officials were assessing the damage.
