Shaaban: Perpetrators of Soleimani’s assassination won’t be able to stop resistance

DAMASCUS, (ST)_The  Embassy of Iran in Damascus held on Thursday a ceremony in commemoration of the martyr, General Qasem Soleimani, and his comrades.

 

Speaking at the ceremony held under the motto “Celebrating martyrs of the Resistance”, Presidential Political and Media Advisor Dr. Bouthaina Shaaban, who represented President Bashar Al-Assad in the ceremony, said that the real motive behind the assassination of Soleimani and his comrades was to liquidate the political, military and moral reference of the late General in confronting occupation. 

 

She added that those who perpetrated that heinous crime will not be able to put the torch of Resistance out.

 

Shaaban added that the martyr Soleimani, with his sincere defense of Iran, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Palestine and Yemen, embodied a vital concept for human fraternity that resists all forms of oppression, tyranny and occupation.

 

For his part, Iran’s Ambassador in Damascus, Javad Turk-Abadi, said “the criminal act committed by the US administration represents the declaration of defeat of the hostile project, through which it wanted to support terrorism, spread chaos and instability, and serve Zionist plots in the region.

 

He asserted that the ugly crime has become an explicit expression of the big defeat of the US and its tools, and the hero of this great achievement was General Soleimani who gained victory over arrogance in his life and through his martyrdom.

 

“I hope we will meet soon… celebrating the full victory in Syria and on all the battlefields against the forces of evil and aggression”, the ambassador concluded.
