Following the recent Israeli air strikes on Damascus, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Sayed Ali Khamenei sent a message of “full and unlimited support” to Syrian president Bashar al-Assad, the Lebanese newspaper Al- Akhbar reported on May 8th.
The message was handed over by Iran’s Foreign Minister, Ali Akbar Salehi to Assad during Salehi’s short visit from Damascus on Tuesday.
In the message, Al-Akhbar reported, Ayatollah Khamenei assured Assad of Iran’s full political, Military and economic support for the Syrian leadership and for people to confront the “Takfiris, terrorists, Israel, the U.S. and all who may dare to attack the country.”
On Friday and Sunday, Israeli warplanes carried out two airstrikes on Syria. Afterwards, the Syrian government called the attacks a “flagrant violation of international law.”
“It’s time to stop the Zionist regime’s aggressions against the people of the region,” Salehi said during his meeting with President Assad according to a report by Lebanese Al-Manar TV.
“We’re on your side and will not let Syria fall into the hands of Israel or the U.S. or the Takfiris,” he added.
Takfiri’s are religious fanatics who use violence to compel people to their way of thinking.
Prior to his visit to Syria, Iran’s foreign minister arrived in the Jordanian capital of Amman on Monday and had separate meetings with Jordan’s King Abdullah II and Prime Minister Abdullah Nsour on Tuesday.
According to Al-Akhbar newspaper, Salehi imparted “a clear and unequivocal message of Iran’s strong commitment to protect Assad and Syria,” to the Jordanian King Abdullah.
“You must be aware that if the US decides to go to war with Syria, your kingdom will go in the process,” this message, Jordanian sources described as a direct message from Iran’s Supreme Leader. It warned the Jordanian king of the “American trap that threatens your throne and will wipe Jordan off the map.”
“The Islamic Republic is ready to provide you what you need in the face of pressures and to avoid the conflict moving into Jordan,” Salehi said to King Abdullah and underlined “Iran’s willingness to transfer Jordan into its camp.”
According to the sources of Al-Akhbar who are close to the Jordanian royal court, “King Abdullah was friendly and listened to the Iranian message. He assured Salehi that Jordan will not be interfering in Syria.”
Syria has been experiencing a deadly unrest since March 2011. Many people, including large numbers of security personnel, have been killed by foreign-backed militants, which Damascus says are trained and supported by the Western powers and their allies in the region.
Several international human rights organizations have accused foreign-sponsored militants of committing war crimes.
the American public is behind you,do us a favor and annihilate that third world to***t called israel
Come on Iran – Syria needs two nukes to take Haifa and Tel-(turd)-Aviv out. Palestine is a sewage contaminated with Jews.
Israel has nukes, not Iran.
Israel is the attackers of others, not Iran.
Iran also has Jews.
Iran’s Jews prefer to stay in Iran and have refused to be bought off by Israel to move to Israel.
Israel was founded on lies and will always be an evil entity.
Umm, I think the big point is that Iran has no nuclear weapons or weapons programme.
Come on Iran – Syria needs two nukes to take Haifa and Tel-(turd)-Aviv out. Palestine is a sewage contaminated with Jews.
