Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa says his country will stay out of the US-Israeli war against Iran unless Syria is subject to aggression and has no diplomatic solutions.

“Unless Syria is targeted by any party, Syria will remain outside any conflict,” the Syrian president says in a speech at an event hosted by think tank Chatham House in London.

Countries across the region have been hit by Iranian attacks.
