TEHRAN: Supreme Leader of the
Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei has remarked that the United
States is taking revenge on Syria for its recent defeats in certain Arab
countries. The Leader made the remark during a meeting with Palestinian Islamic
Jihad Secretary General Ramadan

“The Americans and certain
Western countries want to take revenge on Syria for their recent defeats in the
region, including in Egypt and Tunisia,” Ayatollah Khamenei said. "If one closely observes developments

The Leader added, “Because
Syria is supporting the Palestinian resistance and Lebanon's Islamic
resistance, the main purpose of this American plot is to deal a blow to the front
of resistance in the region. … If the Syrian government promises the Americans
that it will withdraw its backing for the Islamic resistance in Palestine and Lebanon,
all issues will be resolved.”
Ayatollah Khamenei also said,
“The stance of the Islamic Republic of Iran toward Syria is to oppose any sort
of interference by the United States and its allies in Syrian affairs and to support
any form of reform that favors the country’s people.”
In his remarks, Palestinian Islamic
Jihad Secretary General Shallah agreed that the West wants to undermine Syria
because of it sits on the front line of resistance in the region.
