Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman cautions about the implications of the Israeli regime’s rampant incursions into Syria and Tel Aviv’s territorial ambitions in the Arab country for the broader West Asia region’s security.

Esmaeil Baghaei was speaking at a press conference on Monday, identifying the issue as a “shared regional concern,” and underlining the importance of stability as a region-wide imperative.

The official explained that Syrian security was inseparable from that of the wider West Asian stability, singling out the continued Israeli “acts of aggression” and the recent appearance of senior Israeli officials inside Syria’s occupied parts.

“One of the key, shared anxieties among regional nations is the continuation of attacks by the Zionist regime against Syria,” Baghaei said, adding that Tel Aviv had pushed deeper into the country “over recent weeks.”

Baghaei underscored that “the issues in the region are all interconnected,” naming “tragic [Israeli-manufactured] crises” in the Gaza Strip and Lebanon as cases in point.

Last year, the regime backed up increasingly ferocious onslaughts throughout Syria by the so-called Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) Takfiri terrorist group with airstrikes targeting the country’s civilian and defensive infrastructure. The HTS-led militants topped the government of President Bashar al-Assad as a result.

Various reports have shown that, during the escalation, the regime conducted more than 1,000 airstrikes on the Syrian territory and over 400 ground raids into the south.

Following the collapse of the Assad government, Tel Aviv also widened its grip over the occupied Golan Heights by taking control of a demilitarized buffer zone, in defiance of a 1974 Disengagement Agreement. Earlier this month, senior Israeli officials, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, visited the buffer zone, prompting expressions of alarm on the part of the United Nations.
