FM: Iran Ready to Deploy Troops to Syria
TEHRAN -- Iran is prepared to consider deploying troops to Syria, where the government is combating a resurgence of terrorism, should Damascus make an official request, Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said.
In an interview with the Qatari-owned news outlet New Arab, Araghchi warned that the surprise onslaught by terrorist groups in northwestern Syria could pose a more serious security threat to neighboring countries, such as Turkey and Iraq, than to Iran.
