The Asharq Al-Awsat reported, security talks between Iran and Syria were conducted in Tehran at a time when Syria’s Special Adviser at the Republic Presidency Luna al-Shebel announced Damascus having information about extremist fighters leaving the Middle East region and heading to Ukraine and Kazakhstan.

Al-Shebel’s statements coincide with Tehran holding an Iranian-Syrian security meeting on Sunday.
