Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi and his Syrian counterpart Bassam Al-Sabbagh
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi described the revival of Takfiri terrorism in northern Syria as the result of an American-Israeli project, noting: This development follows the Israeli regime's defeats against the resistance in Lebanon and the Palestinian territories.
Araqchi described this undesirable development as an "American-Zionist design" that led to the Israeli regime's defeat of the resistance movements in Lebanon and throughout the Palestinian territories.
These are the words that the official made on Thursday in a phone call with his Lebanese counterpart Abdullah Bouhabib, during which he called this phenomenon an American-Israeli scenario aimed at destabilizing West Asia following the Zionist regime's failures in confronting the Lebanese Hezbollah resistance.

Araqchi also stressed that the threat of terrorism has been effectively countered by the Arab country.
Iran continues to support Syria in the fight against terrorism
Iraqchi stressed the Islamic Republic's continued support for the Syrian government, nation and army in the fight against terrorism and maintaining regional security and stability.
The remarks reflected Tehran's action as the first country to rush to support the Arab nation in 2014, when terrorism and foreign-backed militants swept across large parts of the country.
However, Damascus, with the help of its allies, was able to gradually reverse the tide and regain lost territory and defeat ISIS, the most brutal terrorist group, in 2017.
Sabbagh also reported on the situation on the ground in northern Syria after the terrorist attacks.
He stressed that the Syrian government and people have stood up to terrorist aggression with all their might and will continue to prevent the realization of the sinister ambitions of terrorists and their supporters.
It has been reported that members of the Takfiri terrorist group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) have captured many areas under government control and killed dozens of Syrian soldiers in the north of the Arab country.
However, the Lebanese Al-Mayadeen TV channel later announced that the Syrian army had thwarted a large-scale terrorist operation in Aleppo province with a preemptive strike.
According to the channel, four major terrorist operations that were supposed to start from the city of Anadan, 12 kilometers northwest of Aleppo, were thwarted before they could begin.
According to the report, the army launched heavy missile attacks on terrorist positions from villages west of Aleppo to Mount Zawia, south of the city of Idlib in the neighboring province.
It is also said that the Syrian army has stopped the advance of terrorists led by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham in southeast Idlib and has launched a counterattack to retake their positions.
