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." Watch as we dive into the geopolitical implications of these claims and what it means for the future of the Middle East. #Syria #Khamenei #Iran #Assad #MiddleEast #USIsraelTurkey #SyrianCivilWar #Geopolitics #HTS #SyriaConflict #IranSyriaRelations Also Read 75 Indians Evacuated From Syria Following Recent Overthrow Of Assad Regime :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/india-evacuates-75-nationals-from-syria-011-4012219.html?ref=DMDesc Sednaya Prison Falls, Damascus Celebrates: Syrians Turn the Page on 13 Years of Tyranny :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/sednaya-prison-falls-damascus-celebrates-syrians-turn-the-page-on-13-years-of-tyranny-4012031.html?ref=DMDesc Assad Overthrown: Who Controls Syria Now? :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/assad-overthrown-who-controls-syria-now-4011775.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~PR.274~ED.102~GR.125~
