Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said the Sunday attack of Zionist regime fighters to Syria indicates the bonds of sympathy between Israel and terrorist groups.
Syria's state-run news agency on Sunday reported that Israeli warplanes had targeted two areas in the countryside of Damascus, near the city's international airport.
Zarif made the remarks in a joint press conference with the visiting Syrian Foreign Minister Walid al-Moallem here on Monday.
He said the attack took place with the objective of spiriting up terrorist groups in Syria that are suffering serious blows by the public resistance waves.
Like a similar event two weeks ago, the gathering on 'World against Violence and Extremism' to open in Tehran on Tuesday will also try to convey the message to the world that divine religions are clean of any notions promoting extremism and radicalism, he added.
Zarif went on to stress that Takfiri groups have no place in Islamic community, neither with the Sunni nor Shiite Muslims.
He said the meeting carries the political message that the world today is well aware of the fact that using Takfiri groups as instruments will at the end hurt those who are manipulating them.
The foreign minister reiterated that the only way to confront Takfiri groups was to wage an all-out global war against them and use all cultural, political and economic means as well as military arms to fight them.
