Iran's supreme leader blames US, Israel and Turkey for fall of Assad regime in Syria
Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has said that the US and Israel were behind the fall of Bashar al-Assad’s regime in Syria, and also appeared to point a finger of blame in the direction of Turkey.
In comments reported by Iran’s Tasnim news agency, Khamenei is quoted as saying:
There should be no doubt that what happened in Syria is the product of a joint American and Zionist plan.
Yes, a neighboring government of Syria plays, has played, and is playing an obvious role in this regard - everyone sees this - but the main conspirator, mastermind, and command centre are in America and the Zionist regime.
We have evidence. This evidence leaves no room for doubt.

“Relentless” Israeli airstrikes on Syria are hampering attempts to carry out a smooth transition of power from the collapsed Bashar al-Assad regime, Al Jazeera reports.
Writing from Damascus, Resul Serdar Atas says:
Israel is destroying strategic military infrastructure of Syria. By doing so, they are making sure Syria’s new administration does not have the capability of defending itself.
Israel is reducing Syria into Lebanon, into Gaza. That is a huge challenge to the new administration which is trying to preserve the state apparatus … making sure that there is a smooth political transition.
The relentless Israeli air strikes across the country and, in particular, in the capital, Damascus, are definitely disrupting this process.
Yup. Ayatollah is probably correct about the shit hole Iran is currently in.
ReplyDeleteIran was so caught up in its delusional hubris about how successful was its axis of resistance being prepared to strangle Israel and force the West out of the Middle East.
Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthis, Syria...an Iron Ring being prepared to Wipe Out Israel and by extension the Great Satan Wankees.
Suddenly, in a matter of months...poof.. Hamas heavily degraded, Sinwar now enjoying his 72 Houris in the Garden of Firdaus, Hezbollah still with thousands of fighters but its leadership all Promoted to Al Jannah by Israel, thousands of missiles destroyed, now Syria no longer with Bashar Iran-client state.
October 7th 2023 truly initiated an earth shattering movement, but not in the way Iran planned it.

ReplyDeleteThread from an Israeli fighter pilot. I believe the talk of escalation with Iran is very credible and that we may soon see a strike on nuclear sites. Kushner’s liquid moment is far from over

Israel has now destroyed Syria's air defenses, dropping 1,800 bombs on over 500 targets in a few hours. This means Israel can use Syria’s airspace more freely, turning Syria into a springboard for attacking Iran. 🧵1/6

🇮🇷🇮🇱 NETANYAHU TO IRANIANS: PEACE IS COMING “SOONER THAN ANYONE EXPECTS"
In a defiant video appeal, Netanyahu declared the Iranian axis is crumbling due to a "chain reaction" set off by Israel's strikes on its proxies.
Netanyahu boasted of Israel's blows to Hamas, Hezbollah, and Assad, saying Iran wasted billions supporting these now-decimated regimes.
He claimed Israel is defending civilization against barbarism.
Addressing Iranians directly, Bibi said they suffer under tyrannical rule but yearn for peace, just like Israelis.
He predicted Iran will be free "a lot sooner than people think."
The PM invoked the slogan "Women, Life, Freedom" from Iran's 2022 protests, calling it the future of Iran and peace.
His goal?
To transform the Mideast "into a beacon of prosperity, progress and peace."

🚨🇺🇸 🇮🇷 TRUMP WEIGHS STRIKES AGAINST IRAN’S NUCLEAR PROGRAM
Trump is evaluating aggressive measures, including preemptive airstrikes, to halt Iran's nuclear weapons ambitions.
This follows Iranian assassination plots targeting Trump.
A U.S.-Israeli coordinated operation is also on the table, signaling a bold shift in America's approach to counter Iran's regional threats.
