Iran stresses support for Syrian regime

Iranian President Hassan Rohani on Sunday expressed its support for the Syrian 'war on terror.

Assad said in turn that the Syrian people and army 'are determined to crush terrorism' across Syria. He also thanked Rohani for his support for 'the Syrian nation. 'Iran is one of the main allies of the Assad regime.

The United States Friday bombarded a Syrian air base with cruise missiles. This act was seen as retaliation for a chemical attack on the village Khan Sheikhoun, which Tuesday killed dozens of people. Rohani called Saturday for an international investigation into the attack.
