President Bashar Assad on Wednesday received the Chairman for Foreign Policy and National Security Committee at the Iranian Shura Council, Alaeddin Boroujerdi and an accompanying delegation.

He said the victory of the Iranian people on the nuclear file will be positively reflected on all people and that the sovereignty and independence of their decision will be adhered to.
Boroujerdi reiterated Iran's firm stance in support of Syria's struggle, describing it as the first trench of resistance, and saying that the success of the Syrian people in the face of the most arrogant colonial powers and their tools in the region will form a juncture not only in Syria's history but in the future of the whole region.
