Assad’s Visit a Testimony to Enduring Mutual Ties

Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s recent trip to Tehran indicated that relations between the two countries are enduring despite foreign efforts to weaken their alliance, a lawmaker said.
Last week, the Syrian president made his first trip to Iran since 2011, when foreign-backed insurgents created a crisis. He met with Leader of Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei and President Hassan Rouhani to express his appreciation for Iran’s unwavering support of his government.
