Irvani: The illegal presence of US military forces in Syria is the main source of insecurity in this country

According to Tasnim news agency, Amir Saeed Irvani, Iran’s ambassador and representative to the United Nations, at the council meeting Security spoke about Syria, which was held today, Tuesday, and said: “The humanitarian crisis in Syria remains dire. The Syrian people are suffering from deep economic challenges. Despite the efforts of the United Nations and its humanitarian partners to provide essential assistance to those in need, the continued impact of illegal unilateral sanctions, especially the illegal sanctions by the United States, is placing a huge burden on the Syrian people, including women and children.
 
A significant concern is the current insufficient funding allocation for Syria’s humanitarian response, which falls far short of actual needs. This severe shortage severely hampers the UN’s ability to provide the necessary assistance to those in dire need.
 
Humanitarian aid and reconstruction projects in Syria should not be used as a tool to exert political pressure on the Syrian government. be used It is important to ensure that the impartial and non-political delivery of humanitarian aid to all areas of Syria is a vital measure to save human lives. Allies and its specialized agencies are welcome to use the “Bab al-Salmah” and “Al-Ra’i” crossings for another three months. which has the full support of the Syrian government and shows a sustainable and constructive approach that can significantly improve the humanitarian situation in Syria. To continue its aggression, it entered the territory of Syria. In addition to its crimes against the people of Gaza, the Israeli regime continues its terrorist and aggressive actions inside the Syrian territory and deliberately targets civilians and vital infrastructure. , in particular, strongly condemns the recent airstrikes on the Damascus civilian airport on November 26, which caused severe damage to the airport’s essential facilities and significantly disrupted its operations. We ask the Security Council to condemn the flagrant violation of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Syria by Israel.
 
The illegal presence of American military forces in Syria and its continued occupation is the main source of insecurity in this country and a favorable environment. to feed terrorist organizations inside Syria and the wider region.
 
The US claims to be fighting terrorism in Syria, but in fact its illegal actions in Syria provide immunity and a protective shield for the organization. creates terrorist activities to advance the political programs of the United States and the Israeli regime in the region.
 
Also, due to the situation in Gaza, despite expressing concern about the spillover of tension in Syria, the United States tried to abuse this situation and increases the tension and instability of Syria.
 
We still believe that the basic solution to the Syrian crisis should be pursued through diplomatic and political means.
 
In this context, we emphasize the importance We emphasize the resumption of the Constitutional Committee meetings as an effective mechanism to advance the political process. The continuation of this committee is vital. The role of the United Nations should be supportive and the whole process should be under the leadership and ownership of Syria.
 
Iran welcomes the recent legal decree of the President of the Syrian Arab Republic, which is the second amnesty decree in less than a year. .
 
Iran supports the return of Syrian refugees to their country. Addressing the multiple challenges facing Syrian refugees requires building critical infrastructure. The United Nations, especially the High Commissioner for Refugees, plays a fundamental role in this effort. We welcome and support the interaction and constructive dialogue between the Syrian government and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees in dealing with this issue. do We believe that dealing with the consequences of the Syrian crisis requires a comprehensive approach and real political commitment. This commitment should require an end to repeated and systematic Israeli aggression, an end to the occupation of Syrian territory, the illegal withdrawal of foreign forces from Syrian territory, the immediate and unconditional cancellation of unilateral coercive measures, and active support for the Syrian-led and owned political process. .

And finally, the baseless accusations of the United States against my country are categorically rejected in this meeting. These baseless accusations seem to be part of a deliberate attempt by the United States to divert attention from the serious violations of international law and the UN Charter in the Syrian Arab Republic.
 
I would like to stress that the Islamic Republic of Iran It has never been involved in any action or attack against US military forces in Syria or elsewhere. Iran has always adhered to its commitments to promote peace and security in the region. The United States must stop its illegal actions in Syria, end its illegal occupation, and fulfill its international legal obligations. Among the relevant resolutions of the Security Council, which requires all member states to support and respect the national sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity of Syria. Such actions are very important to promote regional and international peace and security.
I also categorically reject the unsubstantiated claims made by the British representative.”
