Supreme Leader’s Advisor for International Affairs Ali Akbar Velayati renewed Iran’s support for the Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and the government as part of the resistance front against Israel in the Middle East,according to FNA.
“The main reason behind our focus on the Syrian issue is to prevent the fall of the resistance line against Israel. If the Syrian government falls the resistance line against “Israel” will break up,” Velayati said on Sunday.
He warned against the foreign plots aimed at toppling the Syrian government, and reiterated that the fall of the government will be harmful to the anti-Israel resistance.
“Certain reactionary states like Qatar supplied terrorists [in Syria] with arms, and with the aim of overthrowing the Syrian government …recruited gunmen from Somalia and Afghanistan to commit massacres and this is an indication of foreign conspiracies,” Velayati said.
Velayati underlined that nobody outside Syria is allowed to decide for the Syrian leadership to stay or to leave.
