Iran calls for ‘immediate halt’ to Turkish Syria offensive
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleIran is calling for an immediate halt to Turkey’s offensive on Kurdish-ruled northeastern Syria, citing concern for the dangers to civilians in the conflict zone.
“Iran… emphasizes (the need for) an immediate halt to the assault and the departure of Turkish military units from Syrian territory,” the foreign ministry says in a statement.
Iran is a close ally of the Syrian government, which has sought to exploit the Turkish offensive against Kurdish forces that were the mainstay of the US-led campaign against the Islamic State group in Syria to win the region back to central government control.
