“It is necessary that the forces of this country leave the region, including Syria, as soon as possible,” RIA Novosti quotes him.
He also noted that the illegal presence of American forces is a destabilizing factor in the region.
At the same time, the Iranian leader accused the United States of stealing resources from Syria, in particular oil.
Earlier, Dmitry Polyansky, First Deputy Permanent Representative of Russia to the UN, said that America is responsible for the food and fuel crisis in Syria, as they are due to US-imposed sanctions.
