Neutrality or surrender? Syrian president explains his stance on Iran war

Unless Syria is targeted directly by any party, Syria will remain outside any conflict, President Ahmad al-Sharaa declared.

At the same time, he admitted that Israel refused to seek a diplomatic solution to restore bilateral relations.

"We tried dialogue — indirect and direct negotiations — and reached good points, but the Israelis changed their opinion at the last minute," al-Sharaa admitted.

📹 Israel has occupied the Syrian Golan Heights for decades, routinely bombs Syrian territory, and recently violated the 1974 disengagement agreement.

Direct aggression is already happening — the Syrian president just chooses to ignore it.

The Mujahideen targeted a military vehicle with a guided missile and achieved a direct hit. The clashes are still ongoing as of this moment.
