Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has accused the United States and Israel of orchestrating the toppling of former Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, while also blaming a “neighbouring” country of Syria.
“There should be no doubt that what happened in Syria was the result of a joint American-Zionist plot,” said Khamenei, addressing the fall of al-Assad for the first time in a speech delivered in Tehran on Wednesday.
