— 🇸🇾/🇮🇱 WATCH: Even Western journalists are shocked at HTS' lack of action against Israel's aggression against Syria

Reporter:

'I understand it's not your priority. But are you honestly telling me you have nothing to say about Israel striking 300 sites in Syria?'

HTS Spokesman, ignoring the question:

'Have no doubt that we want everyone to respect the sovereignity of the New Syria. This is very important to us.'

— 🇮🇷/🇸🇾 Iranian Embassador to Syria:

'Iran prefers working together with fellow Muslims, especially in defending our region against the Zionists, despite some major differences between us and them (HTS).

Now it is up to them (HTS) to choose whether they prefer to work with fellow Muslims (Iran) or to stand with the enemies of Islam – and being silent in the face of Zionist aggression constitutes complacency in their crimes.

Of course, we can assume that they will not work together with us, except some very basic agreements like not touching our religious sites. But if they show good intent & genuine change, our call to unity remains. However, this call is based on strict conditions, including the protection of religious minorities and the prohibition of future diplomatic ties with the Zionist regime.'
