— 🇮🇷/🇸🇾/🇹🇷 Foreign Ministry of Iran:

'We are monitoring with extreme concern the situation of Syria's religious minorities, specifically the treatment of Alawites, Shiites and Christians. We have asked the Turkish Government for clarification regarding these events, and we hold them partially accountable.

Iran currently has no relationship with the new Syrian government, and based on the current trajectory, we are not eager to do so.

We reiterate our call for a comprehensive and inclusive political process in Syria, in which all Syrians have the right to determine their own future.'
