Iran’s ambassador made a statement before the UN Security Council expressing readiness to assist Syria in restoring unity and territorial integrity. Despite dire humanitarian and economic conditions in Syria, the Humanitarian Response Plan for 2024 is severely underfunded due to unilateral sanctions that worsen the suffering of civilians. Iran supports the renewal of UN permission to deliver aid in northwest Syria and emphasizes the need for transparent aid distribution.
Iran advocates for rebuilding critical infrastructure to enable the safe return of refugees and internally displaced persons without politicizing their situation. The conflict in Syria requires combating terrorism while prioritizing civilian protection. Iran commits to supporting a Syrian-led political process through the Constitutional Committee and calls for action against Israeli aggression on Syrian territory.
Iran condemns the US for blaming Iran for regional issues and highlights its role in stabilizing peace and security. Urging the Security Council to hold Israel accountable for its aggression, Iran calls for decisive action to address violations in Syria and the region.
