The strategic importance of Raeesi’s trip to Syria/the West is only concerned with his interests – Mehr news agency Iran and world’s news
Mehr News Agency, International Group: The President of Iran traveled to Damascus while on the one hand the victory of the resistance front has been revealed to everyone and on the other hand the signs of de-escalation in the region and the emergence of a multi-polar system have become more visible than before.
In this regardword Mehr News Agency reporter Saad conducted a press interview with Adnan Mansour, the former Minister of Foreign Affairs of Lebanon. The text of this interview is as follows:
How do you evaluate the visit of Iran’s President Ebrahim Raisi to Syria at this point in time and what signs and messages does this trip bring, especially since Mr. Raisi’s delegation consists of high-ranking officials and experts?
The visit of the President of Iran to Damascus is undoubtedly an important trip, especially since this is the first trip since 2010, which is thirteen years ago, and for this reason, it is of great importance. During these years, the region has witnessed extensive changes in all fields from economic, security and political to military. Therefore, considering the close relations between Iran and Syria, this trip is very important Amazed It is important and we know that the good relations between Damascus and Tehran started from the time of the Islamic revolution in 1979, when Syria stood by Iran during the time of the late president Hafez Assad, and the late president of Syria at that time from He was aware of the importance of the Islamic Revolution and what it can do in the future for just goals in the region, including the Palestinian issue.
Therefore, from the moment the imposed war against Iran began, we realized that there are Arab countries that stand by the Iraqi regime and provide it with money and all means of support, but Syria had a different position and supported the revolution and the system of the Islamic Republic of Iran. because he was well aware of the sinister goals of foreign and regional powers to confront the Islamic Republic.
This historical act of Syria is well remembered by Iranians, and therefore, when Syria faced difficult conditions from 2011 onwards, everyone saw how the Islamic Republic stood by Syria with all its diplomatic, military, logistical and economic power and It has not provided anything except its progress.
Therefore, the Iranian president’s visit to Damascus took place in a situation where the region has witnessed extensive changes, including the normalization of its relations with Arab countries and the possibility of its rejoining the Arab League. This rapprochement is the result of the resistance of the Syrian people against the malicious plots of foreign powers, and the Arab and regional powers came to the conclusion that there is no way to ignore Damascus and that the regime of this country cannot be overthrown and must be interacted with.
Today, in this trip, a high-ranking delegation from different departments is accompanying the Iranian president, especially since Syria now needs reconstruction and Iran has a long history in the field of investment and exploration of oil and gas, as well as creating huge construction projects. Therefore, Damascus can count on Iran, and this is in the interest of the two brotherly countries. Iran will not spare any help in the reconstruction of Syria, and Tehran, along with other countries in the region, has become a united front against the arrogance of the world and the West.
Iran is the leader in friendly trips to neighboring countries and other Arab and Western countries, what do you think Iran will gain through friendly trips?
The visit of the President of Iran to Syria took place in a situation where this country has resumed its relations with the Arab countries, especially the Persian Gulf countries. This can indicate a better future for the region, because any rapprochement between Iran and the Arab countries will benefit the peace and stability of the region.
The security of the region is made by its people and not by the western powers, therefore, constructive cooperation with the trust and good will of the countries of the region can be the basis for peace and stability in the region, and any conflict and difference between the Arab countries and Iran will be to the detriment of the whole region. Therefore, the presence of the West in the region is not only not stabilizing, but by exerting influence and pressure on the powers of the region, it becomes the basis for differences and conflicts between countries, and the Middle East region must be freed from the existence of Western powers, especially America, for more peace.
The West does not work for the benefit of the people of the region, but for its own benefit and is ready to sacrifice all of us for its own benefit. Therefore, he does not want the rapprochement of Iran and the Arab countries or the rapprochement of Syria and the Arab countries. The West with the “divisive” policy and goverment “Ken” is trying to create differences among the countries of the region so that it can make these countries weak and dependent on itself and dictate its conditions on them.
Therefore, Raisi’s visit to Syria is a historic trip and there is no doubt that economic, political and military agreements will be reached during this trip.
