Ahmad Khatami, President Erdogan Will Pay The Price For This Betrayal Against Muslims
According to Iran International English, a member of the Assembly of Experts of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Ahmad Khatami, said, “Erdogan will pay the price for this betrayal against Muslims—one day, they [Muslims] will come for him. Israel’s influence in the region is a shared threat to the entire Islamic world, not just Iran.”
On the other hand, the President-Elect of the United States of America, Donald Trump, said that nobody knows what was going to happen with Syria following the fall of the administration of the President of Syria, Bashar Al-Assad, but he thought Turkey was going to hold the key to Syria. He also commended the administration of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan of Turkey for partnering with the armed group opposing the Assad regime to oust the regime.
It was learned that following the fall of the administration of the President of Syria, Bashar al-Assad in Damascus where armed groups led by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) took control of Damascus, many prominent people from the Middle East, especially the Islamic Republic of Iran, blamed the administration of the President of Turkey, Recep Tayyip Erdogan in partnering with the armed group opposing the Assad regime to oust the regime.CONTINUE FULL READING>>>>>

According to Khamenei: Israel Will Be Uprooted from Existence as They Attempt to Encircle Hezbollah Through Syria
Addressing a gathering of women, Khamenei emphasized that the so-called “axis of resistance” is far from defeated despite changes in the Syrian landscape. “The spirit of Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah is alive; the spirit of Sinwar is alive,” he declared, referring to the leaders of Hezbollah and Hamas who have been targeted by Israeli forces.
Khamenei’s remarks came amid chants from the crowd calling for the destruction of America and Israel, reinforcing the ideological commitment to resistance against perceived adversaries. He noted that while the bodies of leaders like Nasrallah and Sinwar may be gone, their beliefs endure, ensuring that their paths of resistance continue. “They are attacking Gaza and taking martyrs on a daily basis, but they are still standing, they are still resisting. Lebanon resists,” he stated, highlighting the ongoing conflict and resilience in the region.
The Iranian leader criticized Israel’s strategy, claiming that the Zionist regime believes it can prepare to encircle Hezbollah through operations in Syria. However, he countered this notion by asserting, “But the one who will be uprooted is Israel.” Khamenei’s comments reflect a broader narrative within Iranian leadership that frames Israel as increasingly vulnerable and isolated in its regional ambitions.
This rhetoric underscores Iran’s commitment to supporting groups like Hezbollah and Hamas as part of its strategy to counter Israeli influence in the Middle East. The speech also serves as a reminder of the volatile dynamics at play in the region, where military confrontations and ideological battles continue to shape political landscapes.
Khamenei’s assertions come at a time when tensions between Israel and Hezbollah remain high, with both sides preparing for potential escalations. Analysts suggest that Iran’s backing of Hezbollah is part of a larger effort to maintain its influence across the region, particularly in light of recent conflicts involving Israel.CONTINUE FULL READING>>>>>
