Iranian commander: Assad still in power thanks to Iran, Hezbollah
Syrian President Bashar Assad is still in power thanks to help from Iran and Hezbollah, an Iranian Revolution Guards Corps said Friday, according to semi-official Iranian news agency Fars.
"86 world countries stood and said the Syrian government should be changed and Bashar Assad should go, but they failed because Iran's view was to the contrary, and they were eventually defeated," Brig.-Gen. Amir Ali Hajizadeh said.
"The US secretary of state has very explicitly acknowledged that they have failed and the scene has changed as desired by Iran and Hezbollah," he added. (Ynetnews)
