Supreme Leader: What happened in Syria was result of joint US-Israeli plot

Speaking to thousands of people from various walks of life on Wednesday, Ayatollah Khamenei stated, “There should be no doubt that what happened in Syria was the result of a joint American-Zionist plot.”

The Supreme Leader emphasized that although a neighboring nation was obviously involved in the events, the main plotters and strategists are based in the United States and Israel.

“Yes, a neighboring state of Syria clearly played a role in this matter and continues to do so — everyone can see that,” he said. “But the main conspirator, the main planner, and the command center lie in America and the Zionist regime.”

Ayatollah Khamenei added, “We have indications that leave no room for doubt about this conclusion.”

He also reassured the audience of the future of the Resistance Front, saying, “By God’s grace, the scope of the Resistance will encompass the entire region more than ever.”
“This is what the Resistance Front is,” he asserted, adding, “The more pressure you apply, the stronger it becomes; the more crimes you commit, the more motivated it becomes; the more you fight them, the more expanded it becomes.”
Ayatollah Khamenei dismissed as “ignorant” those analysts who argue that the Islamic Republic of Iran will become weaker as a result of the recent developments.
“I tell you that By God’s grace, Iran is strong and powerful and will become more powerful,” he added.

The Supreme Leader further expressed optimism about Syria’s future, stating, “By God’s grace, the occupied territories in Syria will be liberated by the brave Syrian youth. Do not doubt that this will happen. The US will also be expelled from the region by the Resistance Front.”

He highlighted the differing objectives of those involved in the Syrian conflict, noting, “Some seek territorial occupation in northern or southern Syria, while the US aims to secure its foothold in the region. These are their goals, but time will prove that God willing, none of these objectives will be achieved.”

The US, he went on to say, will not be able to establish a foothold in the region and will be expelled from the region by the Resistance Front.
