According to the Al-Ghad TV report, the Israeli strikes on the outskirts of Damascus targeted strategic military assets linked to Iran's regional influence. These included weapons tunnels, which reportedly housed advanced missile systems.
IRAN INTERNATIONAL -- Israel has not commented on the strikes, adhering to its usual policy of ambiguity regarding military operations in Syria. However, Israeli officials have previously emphasized that such actions aim to prevent the transfer of advanced weapons to Hezbollah and other Iran-backed forces.
Meanwhile, top diplomats from the United States, Turkey, the European Union, and several Arab nations convened on Saturday to discuss Syria's future. Iran and Russia were notably absent from the talks hosted in Aqaba. Participants included US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, UN Special Envoy for Syria Geir Pedersen, and foreign ministers from countries such as Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Qatar.
The discussions centered on guiding Syria toward a political transition following the recent ousting of Bashar al-Assad. Arab diplomats issued a statement advocating for a peaceful and inclusive transition, new constitutional frameworks, and elections while reaffirming their commitment to combating terrorism.
