schema:articleBody	Syrian president Bashar al-Assad and Iran's Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif on Monday slammed their common foe the United States for maintaining sanctions amid the coronavirus pandemic. On his first official meeting with Zarif in a year, Assad expressed condolences to Iran, the regional epicentre of the coronavirus pandemic with 5,209 deaths from COVID-19. A photo released by Assad's office showed him and Zarif sitting opposite each other, both in face masks. Zarif also wore light blue plastic gloves. The Islamic republic says it has recorded 83,505 coronavirus infections, while Syria has declared 39 cases, including three deaths. Assad criticised the United States for keeping economic sanctions in place on countries like Syria and Iran "despite these exceptional humanitarian conditions", the Syrian presidency said in a statement. "The coronavirus crisis has exposed the failure of western regimes... and their lack of morals," it added. Zarif said that "the US real agenda in not lifting its cruel sanctions on countries fighting this disease has now become clear", a statement from Tehran said. During the meeting, Assad also condemned "ongoing encroachments by Turkey on the sovereignty and territory of Syria," in the country's north where Ankara has deployed troops, set up military posts and backed rebels battling the government. Earlier on Monday, Zarif met with his Syrian counterpart Walid Muallem, the foreign ministry in Damascus said. They stressed "the importance of continued coordination and the exchange of information and expertise between... the two countries to enhance their ability to confront" the pandemic and "secure the necessary needs and requirements for prevention, diagnosis and treatment". Iran, along with Russia, is one of the Syrian government's main allies in a nine-year civil war that has killed more than 380,000 people and forced more than half of the country's pre-war population from their homes. Zarif last met with Assad during a visit to Damascus in April last year. mam/ho/par
