In a fiery speech, Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has condemned the fall of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, labeling it as a carefully orchestrated plot by Western powers, specifically the United States and Israel. Khamenei also pointed fingers at Turkey, a neighboring country of Syria, which he claims played a crucial role in supporting anti-Assad forces.
Khamenei’s comments reflect his deep concern over the weakening of the Iran-led "Axis of Resistance," a coalition that opposes U.S. and Israeli influence in the Middle East. The fall of Assad is seen as a significant setback for this alliance, with Iran having invested billions in supporting Assad's government throughout the Syrian civil war
