Iran will dispatch more military advisors to Syria to support the Syrian army and government in their fight against terrorist groups, a senior Iranian military commander was quoted as saying by Press TV on Tuesday.
Iran would deploy more "as long as there is a need" for advisory support, Commander of Iran's Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Ground Force Brigadier General Mohammad Pakpour said.
"There is close coordination between the Syrian Army and the IRGC advisors," and Damascus is in coordination and unison with Tehran, Pakpour said.
"We have advisors in Syria in various areas such as strategic, technical and specialized (sectors)," he added.
Iran cannot stand indifferent and watch the enemies of Syria hatch plots to destroy a country that is at the forefront of resistance, the report quoted Pakpour as saying.
The commander's remarks came after Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces Major General Mohammad Baqeri and his visiting Syrian counterpart General Ali Abdullah Ayoub denounced on Monday the recent Israeli and U.S. strikes on Syria and vowed to boost cooperation in the face of threats.
