He also reiterated Iran's keenness on the ongoing coordination with Syria to fend off foreign plots that aim to undermine the security in the region, SANA said.

Jalili also repeated his country's line that it supports the vision of President Assad for a political solution for Syria, as the sole way to end the long-standing conflict.

After meeting with Assad, Jalili held a meeting with Foreign Minister Walid al-Moallem, sources told Xinhua.

Although the details surrounding the rare air raid are still murky, Syria threatened Thursday to retaliate for the brazen attack, and its main regional ally Iran said there will be repercussions for the Jewish state over the air raid.

Israel confirmed the airstrike on Sunday by its defense minister, Ehud Barak, at a time the United Nations called for self- restraint.

Syria said the bombed facility in Jurmaya had been repeatedly targeted by rebels who failed to storm it, adding that Israel did what the rebels could not.

Some U.S. officials said the Israeli airstrike targeted a convoy carrying anti-aircraft weapons and heading form Syria to Lebanon, while Syria denied the claim and said the air raid targeted a research center for scientific purposes.
