Iranian FM denies reports of embassy evacuation in Damascus

Tehran, Dec 7 (UNI) Media reports about the evacuation of the Iranian Embassy in Damascus amid the increased activity of terrorist groups in Syria are not accurate, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei said on Saturday.
"Reports about the evacuation of the Islamic Republic of Iran's embassy in Damascus are not accurate, the embassy … continues its activities as usual," Baghaei was quoted as saying by the Mehr news agency.
The Hayat Tahrir al-Sham terrorist group (formerly known as the Nusra Front, banned in Russia) and a number of other armed groups launched a large-scale operation against the Syrian government on November 29, advancing from the north of the northwestern region of Idlib towards the cities of Aleppo and Hama. A day later, Aleppo, Syria's second largest city, came under the complete control of the militants for the first time since the beginning of the conflict in the country in 2011.
