Tehran has expressed deep concern over the recent clashes in the Suwayda region in southern Syria and condemned the Israeli attacks on the Arab country over the past two days.

Esmaeil Baghaei, the spokesman for the Iranian Foreign Ministry, pointed to the continued military aggression by Israel against Syria’s territorial integrity, coinciding with the ongoing occupation of a large part of Syrian territory.

He described the continued inaction of the United Nations Security Council regarding the aggressive actions of the Zionist regime against regional countries as 'extremely dangerous' and as fueling the escalating boldness of the occupying regime.

Baghaei emphasized the necessity for countries in the region and the Islamic world to act urgently to stop the violations and crimes committed by the Zionist regime, including its unprecedented genocide in Gaza and ongoing attacks against Syria and Lebanon.

He emphasized the international community's responsibility to prevent further severe violations of international law and the UN Charter.

The Druze-majority city of Sweida in southern Syria has been a scene of clashes since Sunday between factions from the Druze religious minority and Bedouin tribes, killing more than 100 people.

The two sides have a longstanding feud in Sweida.

Syria's unelected HTS regime has deployed its forces in a bid to extend its power to the area controlled by local armed groups.
