Khamenei: Iran's Intervention in Syria is Necessary to Face Threats
The Iranian Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, justified his country’s intervention in Syria as a “battle of faith,” indicating that this role is essential to counter threats that impact Islamic and regional interests.
In a speech during a religious occasion on Sunday, Khamenei attempted to justify Iran’s support for armed groups in the region, claiming that what motivates these groups to fight is their “faith and doctrine,” not dependence on Iran, according to reports from Iranian media.
Khamenei accused the United States of seeking to spread chaos in Syria, believing that the current situation could lead to the emergence of “a group of strong, honorable individuals.” He added, “America's plan in Syria relies on destabilization to achieve its hegemony,” describing that policy as a traditional method to secure its interests in the region.
He also defended his country's regional policy, asserting that “Iran does not rely on proxy forces,” stating, “If we want to do something, we will do it ourselves, and we do not need agents.”
Moreover, he criticized U.S. support for protests in Iran, warning that “the Iranian people will not allow any entity acting in favor of the United States to disrupt their interests.”
In a related context, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi previously stated that Syria is now outside the “axis of resistance” following the fall of Bashar al-Assad, claiming that the events in the country are part of a “U.S.-Israeli scheme.” Araqchi emphasized that Iran's presence in Syria was based on an official invitation to combat “terrorist groups.”
On the other hand, sources told Syria Television that the new Syrian government has prioritized ending the Iranian project in the country and working to curb its expansion.
