Syrian citizens demonstrated outside the Iranian embassy in Damascus, chanting "Iran and Syria are one," and "Iran and Syria are sisters," as an expression of gratitude for Iran's support of the Syrian regime.
One of the speakers at the demonstration thanked Iran for its support of the Palestinian and Lebanese resistance, and for fighting the plot against Syria. Another speaker at the demonstration, the Iranian ambassador in Damascus, Ahmad Mousavi, called upon Syrian citizens to increase their support for the regime, in order to avert the crisis in their country.
