Senior advisor on international affairs to Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, Ali Akbar Velayati, has said that Tehran will remove all its military advisors from Syria only if President Bashar Assad’s regime asks it to.
According to Velayati, who visited Moscow earlier this week to speak with President Vladimir Putin, emphasized that Iranian forces are only stationed in Syria at Assad’s behest. “Iran and Russia helped purify 80% of Syrian territory from terror,” he said.
