Just for the Sake of Fist of Dollars More

TEHRAN (Iran News) –  Although Syrian forces have thwarted the terrorists and rebels atrocities and have retaken the occupied forces and there is no need to the uninvited foreign forces, the U.S. forces continue their presence in Syrian territories under the pretext of fighting the terrorist and IS forces but everybody knows it well that it is just for the sake of a fist of dollars more and looting the oil from Styria and dominating in the region.

This presence and meddling into domestic affairs of  Syria has caused different problems in this country which is trying to put side years of wars with terrorists and the IS forces.

On Thursday, Iran and Syria both demanded complete withdrawal of foreign forces from Syria, arguing that the latest spate of deadly violence in the Arab country’s northeastern province of Hasakah is the upshot of illegal presence of occupation troops, particularly Americans.

Speaking at a UN Security Council session in New York on Thursday, Zahra Ershadi, deputy permanent representative of Iran to the UN, described last week’s attack by the Daesh terrorists on the Kurdish-run Ghwayran jail in Syria’s northeastern province of Hasakah as a wake-up call that once again showed that the foreign-sponsored Takfiri terrorists remain a significant threat to regional security and stability.

Ershadi noted that Iran is closely monitoring developments in the eastern bank of the Euphrates River, stressing that Hasakah violence clearly showed that the occupying forces and their allies have not been able to ensure security and order in their occupied territories, and the status quo has helped Daesh to extend its influence there and endanger the lives of local population.

“It is deeply unfortunate that countries that have repeatedly alleged to be pioneers in human rights are refusing to repatriate their nationals, especially women and children, who have been caught up in deplorable conditions of conflict zones,” she said.

Ershadi added, “Given the threats posed by foreign terrorists to the security and stability of the region, the Security Council should prioritize their repatriation to respective countries.”

The Iranian diplomat highlighted that the fight against terrorism should not be an excuse to violate Syria’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.

The continued occupation of Syrian territories creates favorable conditions for terrorist activities in Syria, and must end immediately, she underlined.

“As per the UN Security Council resolutions, the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Syria must be respected. The Syrian government has a legitimate and inalienable right to counter terrorist activities on its territories, and any action taken to combat terrorism must be coordinated with the Syrian government,” Ershadi stressed.

Iran says the long-running crisis gripping Syria could only be resolved through ending the occupation of uninvited foreign forces and uprooting terrorists.

 

The Iranian diplomat went on to highlight that the Syrian nation continues to suffer, and nothing is more important than ending Israel’s aggression in order to ensure the country’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.

She said, “Serious efforts are needed to remove unilateral sanctions imposed on Syria. Those unlawful measures have prolonged the sufferings of the people and adversely affected the work of international and national humanitarian agencies there.”

At the same time, Syrian Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates Bashar al-Jaafari lambasted U.S.-led sanctions against his country, saying the bans amount to economic terrorism and have catastrophic impacts on Syria’s human rights situation.

Separately, Dmitry Polyanskiy, deputy permanent representative of Russia to the United Nations, renewed Moscow’s call on all foreign occupation forces to immediately withdraw from Syria.

“We demand the immediate withdrawal of all foreign forces, who are illegally deployed, from Syria,” Polyansky said at the UN Security Council session. “It is clear that the United States does not deal with the fight against terrorism even on a domestic level, let alone on a global scale.”

He stressed that “Russia will not stop fighting terrorism in Syria in cooperation with the country’s authorities.”

“Syrian forces, with the support of the Russian Air Force, continue to hunt down and eliminate the Daesh militants in Syria,” the Russian diplomat said.

The U.S. military has stationed forces and equipment in eastern and northeastern Syria, with the Pentagon claiming that the deployment is aimed at preventing oilfields in the area from falling into the hands of the Daesh terrorists. Damascus, however, says the unlawful deployment is meant to plunder the country’s resources.

After failing to oust the Syrian government with the help of its proxies and direct involvement in the conflict, the U.S. government has now stepped up its economic war on the Arab country.

Unfortunately the international bodies like the United Nations are indifferent towards the crisis in Syria which is just mostly because of the illegal and uninvited presence of foreign forces. As soon as Syrian forces take serious actions against the terrorists to clear the country from their presence, American forces begin some operation under pretext of fighting terrorists and they actually help the terrorists survive and continue their crimes which is the best scenario for providing opportunity for the U.S. to loot Syria’s oil fields and at the same time the Zionists air forces rush to help these terrorists.

Syria has to take a firm action against the illegal forces if they want to clear the country from the filth of occupiers and to restore its pride and dignity as an independent country because international bodies like the UN are impotent to take any action against the American and other illegal forces in Syria.
