Leader: US, Israel behind Plot in Syria

Addressing thousands of Iranian people of different social strata at the Imam Khomeini Husseiniya of Tehran on Wednesday, Ayatollah Khamenei said there is no doubt that what has  happened in Syria was the outcome of a “joint American-Zionist plot”.

Pointing to the role that a neighboring government of Syria has played in this regard, the Leader said the main elements and plotters are the US and the Israeli regime.

The “real command room” for the plot in Syria belongs to the US and the Israeli regime, Ayatollah Khamenei added, pointing to unquestionable evidence for it.

Ayatollah Khamenei characterized the actions of the Zionists and the US in the recent events in Syria as one of the indications. “If they were not the architects of the events in Syria, why did they not remain silent like other countries? By bombing hundreds of infrastructure centers, airports, research centers, training centers for scientists, and other locations in Syria, they have practically interfered in the ongoing events,” he asserted.

The Leader alluded to the US' official declaration of attacking 75 locations in Syria within the first couple of days of the incidents. “In addition to targeting hundreds of locations, the Zionists have occupied Syrian territories and advanced their tanks towards Damascus. Additionally, while the United States exhibits extraordinary sensitivity to even the most minor border incidents in other countries, it not only refrained from protesting but also offered assistance,” he emphasized, khamenei.ir reported.

Expanding on additional evidence of US and Zionist involvement in Syrian affairs, the Leader stated, “In the final days, there was an intention to send aid and supplies to the citizens of a region in Syria, specifically Zainabiyah. However, the Zionist forces obstructed all land routes. American and Zionist aircraft conducted extensive flights, effectively preventing these aid supplies from being transported by air.”
