Iran seeks united front with Syria
Iran seeks united front with Syria

Iran's new President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has received his Syrian counterpart, the first head of state to visit since his inauguration, and reiterated that the two countries should form a "united front" against their opponents.

President Bashar Assad emphasized terrorism in his comments after arriving in Tehran on Sunday for a two-day visit. "Iran and Syria should pay attention to terrorism, which is spreading in the Middle East," Assad said.

Both Iran and Syria are under pressure and facing sanctions from the United States. Washington accuses them of supporting militant groups such as Lebanon's Hezbollah and radical Palestinian factions.
