Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi on Friday called for unity in rebuilding Syria and rejected any foreign interference in the country’s internal affairs.

Araghchi’s remarks came after a statement by the Arab League on Thursday, which urged Iran not to sow discord in Syria following the ouster of President Bashar al-Assad, a long-time ally of Tehran.

“We, just like you, want to achieve stability and calm, and prevent chaos and disturbances in Syria for very clear reasons,” Araghchi said in a post on X, calling for “an inclusive government in Syria with the participation of all ethnic and religious groups,” and rejecting “any form of foreign intervention under any pretext.”

He also accused Israel and the United States of inciting discord in Syria.

In its statement, the Arab League had warned against igniting strife and denounced what it described as destabilizing comments by unnamed Iranian officials.
