Local Editor

The Head of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, Saeed Jalili, was expected in Damascus on Saturday for a meeting with President Bashar al-Assad, Agence France Presse quoted security officials as saying. Jalili would also meet with Syrian Prime Minister Wael al-Halqi and Foreign Minister Walid al-Muallem, the officials told AFP on condition of anonymity. Jalili, who last visited Damascus in August 2012, is also Iran's top nuclear negotiator and a close aide to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Sayyed Ali Khamenei. His visit was also confirmed by Al-Alam television channel, which reported that the trip would be important-- although it did not elaborate. The vivist comes few days after the Zionist entity launched an airstrike against a scientific research center situated between Damascus and the Lebanese border, killing two people and injuring five others.
