In his first comments since the fall of Bashar al-Assad, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said, “Occupied Syrian territory will be liberated by brave Syrian youth. Do not doubt that this will happen, and the US will be ejected from the region by the axis of resistance,” reports. “Syria’s events have lessons for us all, including our officials. One of the lessons is negligence about the enemy,” he added. He said that Iranian intelligence agencies sent warning reports to Syrian authorities from months ago but were ignored.
