Iranian media outlets on Tuesday reported that “agreements” were signed between the Iranian regime and the Assad regime, including an agreement to establish a communication network and a seaport in Syria. These plans clearly represent the looting of the Syrian people and their country’ wealth by the Iranian extremist militias in Syria.
On behalf of the Syrian people, the Syrian Coalition denounces these “agreements” as illegal and unacceptable under any circumstances. These “agreements” represent further a blatant violation of Syria’s sovereignty as they are meant to reward an occupation force in return for its involvement in shedding the Syrian people’s blood and attempting to break their will.
