Iran's Foreign Ministry has confirmed that it currently has no direct contact with the newly established ruling factions in Syria following the recent fall of President Bashar al-Assad's government. Esmail Baghaei, the ministry's spokesman, stated that while Iran had maintained communication with various Syrian opposition groups prior to the regime change, it does not engage directly with the current leadership. Baghaei emphasized Iran's commitment to Syria's sovereignty and asserted that the country should not become a haven for terrorism. He also warned Iranian citizens against traveling to Syria due to ongoing developments in the region. The ministry's statements reflect Iran's ongoing geopolitical interests in Syria, particularly in light of its past support for Assad's regime.
