Iranian Defense Minister Hossein Dehqan in a phone conversation with his Syrian counterpart Fahd Jassem al-Freij discussed the need for intensifying military operations against terrorists in Syria.

The Iranian minister called for wiping the remaining Syrian districts clear of terrorists and eradicating terrorist as a regional tumor, Fars news agency reported March 29.

Thanking Iran for its help for standing behind the Syrian government, al-Freij noted the recent freedom of the city of Tadmur as a major step toward a final victory over terrorists.
