Ambassador Mohammad Reza Raouf Sheibani made the remarks in an interview with IRNA on Monday.
He stated that helpful information has been acquired about the two Iranian engineers, who were kidnapped by militants in Syria, and good news will soon be published about them.
The two men and five other Iranian engineers were kidnapped in the western city of Homs in December 2011 while they were on their way to work on the project to construct the Jandar power plant.
Five of the engineers were set free in October 2012.
On August 4, 2012, 48 Iranian religious tourists, who were traveling on a bus from Damascus International Airport to the shrine of Hazrat Zainab (AS) on the outskirts of the Syrian capital, were also kidnapped by militants.
The abductees were set free in a swap deal between the Syrian government and the armed militants in January.
Syria has been experiencing unrest since mid-March 2011. Many people, including large numbers of security personnel, have been killed in the violence.
The Syrian government says that the chaos is being orchestrated from outside the country, and there are reports that a very large number of the militants fighting the Syrian government are foreign nationals.
In addition, several international human rights organizations say the foreign-sponsored militants have committed war crimes.
