Syrian President Ahmed Al-Sharaa said on Tuesday ​his country will stay out of the US-Israeli war against Iran unless Syria is ‌subject to ‌aggression ​and ‌has no ⁠diplomatic ​solutions.
“Unless Syria ⁠is targeted by any party, Syria will remain outside any conflict,” ⁠the Syrian president ‌said ‌in ​a ‌speech at an event ‌hosted by think tank Chatham House in London.
The ‌month-long conflict has spread across the ⁠region, killing ⁠thousands, disrupting energy supplies, and threatening to send the global economy into a tailspin.
