From Khamenei says Assad’s fall will not weaken Iran
Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei says the weakening of the anti-Israel “resistance” after the ouster of Bashar al-Assad in Syria will not diminish Tehran’s power.
Some, “unaware of the meaning of resistance, imagine that when the resistance becomes weak, Islamic Iran will also become weak… Iran is strong and powerful and will become even more powerful,” Khamenei says.
According to Khamenei, different “invaders” in Syria are pursuing different aims.
“Their goals are different. Some of them are seeking to seize the lands of northern or southern Syria. America is seeking to strengthen its position in the region,” he says.
