MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has arrived in the Syrian capital of Damascus amid escalation of tensions in the region, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei said on Saturday.
“FM Araghchi and his accompanying delegation arrive in Damascus for an official visit. He will meet with Syrian high-level officials and consult about bilateral relations and regional developments,” Baghaei wrote on X.
On Friday, Araghchi visited Beirut to express Iran's support for Lebanon amid ongoing Israeli attacks.
On October 1, Israel announced the start of a "limited" military ground operation in southern Lebanon, reportedly with no plans to permanently occupy any areas of the country.
