“There should be no doubt that what happened in Syria was plotted in the command rooms of the United States and Israel. We have evidence for this,” Ayatollah Khamenei told a group of people in Tehran Wednesday.

“One of the neighboring countries of Syria also played a role, but the primary planners are the US and the Zionist regime,” the Leader added, apparently referring to Turkey.

Ayatollah Khamenei said the agents of the world arrogance are happy about the events in Syria, thinking that with the fall of the Syrian government, which supported the resistance, the resistance front has become incapacitated.

“The resistance front is not a piece of hardware that breaks or collapses or is destroyed. Resistance is a faith; it is a thought; it is a heartfelt and definite decision. Resistance is a school; it is a school of belief. What is the faith of a group of people does not become weak but becomes stronger with pressure."

The Leader explained how the spread of evil motivates resistance fighters, leading to the expansion of the resistance front.

“When they see the heinous crimes of the enemy, those who doubted whether to resist or not, will get out of doubt; they will realize that they have to stand, resist and put their lives on the line against the oppressor. This is what resistance is.”
