Iran Accuses U.S, Israel & Turkey of Collapsing Assad's Regime in Syria – Khamenei's Shocking Claims

In a bold statement, Iran's Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, has accused the United States, Israel, and Turkey of orchestrating the downfall of Bashar al-Assad's government in Syria. Khamenei claims that the collapse of Assad's regime is the result of a joint "American-Zionist" plot, with Turkey also playing a significant role. This comes after the rapid advance of rebel forces in Syria, led by the Islamist group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), which resulted in Assad’s regime losing control over key territories. As the situation unfolds, Khamenei also emphasized that Iran’s role in Syria is strictly "advisory."
