On Wednesday, Supreme leader of Iran Ayatollah Ali Khamenei accused the United States and Israel of orchestrating the ongoing conflict in Syria, calling it as a “joint plot” intented to destabilize the region.
Khamenei also claimed that a “neighbouring country” is also playing a key role in the unrest but emphasised that the main conspirators are the US and the “Zionist regime.”
Sharing a post on X, he stated, “No one should doubt that what has taken place in #Syria is the product of a joint US-Israeli plot.”
“A government in a neighboring country of Syria has played and is still playing a clear role in what’s happening. However, the primary conspirators and control room are in the United States and the Zionist regime. We have evidence of this that leaves no room for doubt for anyone,” added in the post.
Khamenei also expressed confidence that Syrian territories currently under occupation would eventually be liberated by the country’s youth.
“Each of those attackers in Syria have different goals. Some are seeking to occupy land. The US aims to strengthen its foothold in the region. Time will show that none of them will achieve these goals,” Supreme Leader of Iran stated.
“The territories that have been seized in Syria will be liberated by the brave Syrian youth. Have no doubts that this will happen. The US won’t be able to strengthen its foothold in Syria, and the US will be expelled from the region by the Resistance Front,” he further added.
The situation in Syria has drawn global attention after Syrian rebels entered Damascus on Sunday, forcing President Bashar al-Assad to flee from the country and bringing an end to his more than two-decade-long rule in the country.
Russia has granted asylum to Bashar al-Assad and his family, TASS reported citing a Kremlin source. The source confirmed that Assad and his family have arrived in Moscow, with the decision to offer asylum based on “humanitarian considerations.”
