A senior Iranian official said in an interview that the Syrian president confirmed his devotion to Iran during his visit to the Islamic Republic.
Syrian President Bashar Assad has reportedly denied a US offer to break ties with Iran in exchange for Washington’s support, according to a report by Al-Masdar News.
At the beginning of the war in Syria, the US has reportedly stated that the resignation of Assad, who is the legitimate president, and subsequent elections were necessary conditions for peace in Syria. Later, Washington took a more reserved position, and now the US has reportedly attempted to offer its support to the Syrian leader.
During the visit, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei lauded the triumph of the anti-western resistance in Syria, saying it has “made Americans angry” and forced them to come up with new nefarious plots, PressTV reports.
