On Thursday, the Syrian Defense Ministry said that the Syrian Armed Forces responded to the terrorist attack in the provinces of Aleppo and Idlib, where the militants suffered heavy losses in equipment and manpower.
"In response to developments over the past two days in Syria, the spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Republic of Iran issued a warning about the renewed activity of Takfiri-terrorist groups. Esmaeil Baqaei called for decisive and coordinated measures to prevent the expansion of the scourge of terrorism in the region. Baqaei strongly condemned all forms and manifestations of terrorism, describing the recent movements of terrorist groups in Syria as part of the sinister scheme orchestrated by the terrorist Zionist regime and the United States to destabilise the West Asia region," the ministry said in a statement.
