Reuters - Irans foreign minister said on Monday the United States was an irrelevant occupier in Syria, and called for respecting Syrian territorial integrity, after a U.S. pull-back of troops in northeast Syria appeared to open the way to a Turkish attack.
US is an irrelevant occupier in Syria futile to seek its permission or rely on it for security, Mohammad Javad Zarif tweeted. Achieving peace & fighting terror in Syria will only succeed thru respect for its territorial integrity & its people.
