Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, addressed the ongoing situation in Syria, asserting that the United States has created chaos in the country and erroneously believes it has achieved victory. He stated that the U.S. aims to dominate nations either through tyranny or by inciting unrest. Khamenei emphasized that a strong and noble group of Syrian youth is expected to emerge, as they have little left to lose due to the unsafe conditions in their lives, schools, and communities. He criticized an unnamed American official who suggested support for those causing unrest in Iran, declaring that the Iranian people will reject anyone who collaborates with the U.S. in this regard. Khamenei's remarks highlight his perspective on U.S. foreign policy and its implications for regional stability.
