at the end of his one-day visit to syria, araghchi reiterated iran's commitment to "resistance" to israel at a press conference, saying that iran would respond accordingly or even "stronger" to any israeli action.

araghchi also said the top priority is to achieve a ceasefire in the gaza strip and lebanon and to help displaced lebanese. iran has sent humanitarian aid to syria to help lebanese seeking refuge there, and more is expected to arrive soon.

according to a report by the syrian news agency on the 5th, syrian president bashar and prime minister jalali met with araghchi respectively on the same day and discussed issues such as the regional situation and the provision of humanitarian assistance to lebanon.

during the meeting, bashar assad emphasized the important role of the strategic relationship between syria and iran in dealing with the challenges and dangers faced by the region and its people, saying that iran's counterattack was a strong response to israel's continued violations of the sovereignty of the people and countries in the region. he urged israel to "stop its crimes of aggression and killing innocent civilians" and respect the legitimate rights of the countries and people concerned.

the situation in the middle east has continued to escalate in recent days. on september 29, the israeli military attacked ports and power stations controlled by the houthi armed forces in yemen. on october 1, it announced ground strikes on hezbollah targets in southern lebanon. on the 2nd, it launched air strikes on the palestinian gaza strip and syria. in response to israel's recent series of actions, iran launched a large-scale ballistic missile attack on israel on the evening of the 1st.
