Rouhani also replied to the congratulatory message of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad on his electoral win, saying the deep-rooted ties between Tehran and Damascus reflect the strong resolution of the two countries for broad cooperation in various areas and foiling enemy's plots, especially the Israeli " conspiracies," according to the report.
