INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
TEHRAN- Nour News, a news outlet close to Iran's Supreme National Security Council (SNSC), on Saturday dismissed a bogus report by
Saudi-owned publication Asharq al-Awsat that Russia has urged Iran to withdraw its soldiers from western and central Syria after the Israeli
al-Awsat was false and Russia has not made such a request from Iran
on the ground in Syria, the news outlet added, "Falsification of such news aims to boost the morale of the remnants of Takfiri terrorism in
Syria and also to portray the Zionist regime as an influential player in the political and security equations of the region."According to
the news website, Iran has been providing Syria with military advice at the request of the Damascus government to combat terrorism
It also stated that "the strategic cooperation between Iran, Syria, and Russia in the fight against terrorism in the region, especially in
the Levant, will continue powerfully."It was noted that certain regional media outlets spread such fake stories in an effort to undermine
Iran-Russia-Syria collaboration, which has effectively thwarted the West's ambitions to utilize terrorism as a tool for political dominance
of the region.Some regional media outlets follow such fake news in order to cause schism in Iran-Russia-Syria unanimity.In a report on
Friday, the Saudi-owned newspaper Asharq al-Awsat claimed that Russia has ordered that Iranian soldiers leave their military locations in
central and western Syria, as well as those west of Hama province, in order to protect the forces from Israeli strikes.The official Syrian
Arab News Agency (SANA) stressed that the Zionist regime has carried out multiple air raids against the Aleppo International Airport in
western Syria, attacking the facility with missiles.Syrian Foreign Minister Faisal Mekdad warned Israel in a tweet on Thursday that it is
playing with fire after the regime carried out airstrikes near Damascus and on Aleppo's international airport."Israel is playing with fire
and is putting the regional military and security situations at risk of an explosion
Syria will not remain silent regarding the repeated Israeli attacks and the Israelis will pay the price sooner or later," Mekdad
tweeted.There is an escalating tension between Syria and the Israeli regime as a result of Israel's control of the Golan Heights since 1967
Tel Aviv regime has a sizable military presence in the region, which it used as one of its launch sites for assaults against Syrian
territory.After 2011, when the Arab nation found itself under the control of foreign-backed militancy and terrorism, the regime's strikes on
Syria began to drastically increase in size and regularity.The apartheid regime of Israel targeted the airports of the Arab nation twice,
the most recent being on Wednesday.The Damascus International Airport was fully shut down for two weeks as a result of an airstrike on June
10 by the occupying regime.
