In a Wednesday meeting with visiting Syrian Foreign Minister Walid al-Muallem in Tehran, Rouhani emphasized the need for all countries and governments to regard the anti-terror battle as a duty.
The Iranian president warned ofthe growing wave of terrorism as a universal threat, adding that terrorists will have no mercy for anyone oranything.
Rouhani further reaffirmed Irans unwavering support for the Syrian nation in the face of Takfiri terror groups and said, Backing oppressed nations and friendly governments as well as making efforts for the establishment of peace and security in the region are among the Islamic Republics unchangeable goals and principles.
The Iranian chief executive rejected any military solution to the crisis in Syria, saying Iran will do everything in its power on the political scene to help end the violence, which has so far claimed over 230,000 lives, and restore calm to the Arab country.
We have no doubt that the terrorists will eventually suffer defeat and will be driven out of the region, Rouhani added.
Muallem, in turn, thanked the Islamic Republic for standing by the Syrian nation over the past four years, outlining the latest developments in Syrias political arena as well as on the battlefield against the foreign-backed terrorists.
The top Syrian diplomat also hailed the outcome in the nuclear negotiations over Irans nuclear program, saying the breakthrough could play a positive role in regional developments.
