Damascus: Iran, which had strongly backed President Bashar Assad’s deposed government, says Syrians should decide their country’s future without “without destructive, coercive, foreign intervention.” The statement from the Foreign Ministry on Sunday was the country’s first official reaction to the overthrow of Assad’s government by rebel forces, who reached capital Damascus over the weekend.
Iran has been a staunch supporter of Assad throughout the nearly 14-year civil war.
