DAMASCUS, (ST)- President Bashar Al-Assad has reaffirmed Syria’s condemnation of the US blacklisting of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Crops (IRGC), stressing that this irresponsible move is  part of the wrong US policies which constitute a main cause of instability in the region.

On his part, Zarif denounced the US administration’s declaration on the occupied Syrian Golan, stressing that this decision can’t be separated from the US decisions on al-Quds and the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Crops.
These decisions indicate the failure of Washington’s policies in the region and the weakness of the US administration not the opposite, Zarif said.
Talks during the meeting focused on developments in the region, the next round of Astana talks on Syria and continuous contacts between Damascus and Tehran to coordinate joint stances on different issues in a way that serves Syria’s national interest and takes into consideration the steadfastness and sacrifices of the Syrian people over the past years.
