The commander of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards says the Islamic Republic has not been weakened following the fall of its ally, Bashar al-Assad, in Syria, Iranian media reports.
“We have not been weakened and Iran’s power has not diminished,” Hossein Salami is quoted as telling members of parliament in a closed session.
“The overthrow of the Zionist regime is not off the agenda,” Salami says in the session, which meets to discuss the latest developments in Syria.
Salami says no Iranian forces remain in Syria.
