Following the recent Israeli air strikes on Damascus, Iran\u2019s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Sayed Ali Khamenei sent a message of \u201cfull and unlimited support\u201d to Syrian president Bashar al-Assad, the Lebanese newspaper Al- Akhbar reported on May 8th.<\/span><\/p>\n

The message was handed over by Iran\u2019s Foreign Minister, Ali Akbar Salehi to Assad during Salehi\u2019s short visit from Damascus<\/a> on Tuesday.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the message, Al-Akhbar reported, Ayatollah Khamenei assured Assad of Iran\u2019s full political, Military and economic support for the Syrian leadership and for people to confront the \u201cTakfiris, terrorists, Israel, the U.S. and all who may dare to attack the country.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

On Friday and Sunday, Israeli warplanes carried out two airstrikes on Syria. Afterwards, the Syrian government called the attacks a \u201cflagrant violation of international law.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s time to stop the Zionist regime’s aggressions against the people of the region,\u201d Salehi said during his meeting with President Assad according to a report by Lebanese Al-Manar TV.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re on your side and will not let Syria fall into the hands of Israel or the U.S. or the Takfiris,\u201d he added.<\/span><\/p>\n

Takfiri’s are religious fanatics who use violence to compel people to their way of thinking.<\/span><\/p>\n

Prior to his visit to Syria, Iran\u2019s foreign minister arrived in the Jordanian capital of Amman<\/a> on Monday and had separate meetings with Jordan\u2019s King Abdullah II and Prime Minister Abdullah Nsour on Tuesday.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to Al-Akhbar newspaper, Salehi imparted \u201ca clear and unequivocal message of Iran\u2019s strong commitment to protect Assad and Syria,\u201d to the Jordanian King Abdullah.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cYou must be aware that if the US decides to go to war with Syria, your kingdom will go in the process,\u201d this message, Jordanian sources described as a direct message from Iran\u2019s Supreme Leader. It warned the Jordanian king of the \u201cAmerican trap that threatens your throne and will wipe Jordan off the map.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe Islamic Republic is ready to provide you what you need in the face of pressures and to avoid the conflict moving into Jordan,\u201d Salehi said to King Abdullah and underlined \u201cIran\u2019s willingness to transfer Jordan into its camp.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

According to the sources of Al-Akhbar who are close to the Jordanian royal court, \u201cKing Abdullah was friendly and listened to the Iranian message. He assured Salehi that Jordan will not be interfering in Syria.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

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.<\/span><\/p>\n

Several international human rights organizations have accused foreign-sponsored militants of committing war crimes.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
