Khamenei Calls Assad’s Fall a Western Plot, Accuses U.S, Israel, and Turkey for Chaos in Syria

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 #Khamenei #SyriaCrisis #AssadsFall #IranVsUS #IsraelTurkey #MiddleEastTensions #USIsraelAlliance #SyriaWar #IranResistance #KhameneiSpeech #SyrianCrisis #USIsraelTurkeyConspiracy #AssadOverthrow #MiddleEastPolitics #AxisOfResistance 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
