Speaking to families of Iranians killed in Syria fighting for Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad, the Iranian regime\u2019s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei said if his regime had not gone abroad to \u201cfight the enemy\u201d, it would have to fight them inside Iran.<\/p>\n
Khat-e Hezbollah (Line of Hezbollah), a publication distributed by Khamenei\u2019s official website, Khamenei.ir, published the comments by the regime\u2019s Supreme Leader during a meeting with the families of Iranians killed both in Syria and Iraq.<\/p>\n
Khamenei was quoted as saying: \u201cIf your martyrs had not gone to fight the enemy, the enemy would have come to enter our country. We would have to fight the enemy here in Kermanshah and Hamedan and other provinces\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
In recent months the Iranian regime\u2019s media have published reports indicating heavy losses in Syria.<\/p>\n
Heavy casualties have been reported over the past few days including a high ranking commander of the Iranian regime\u2019s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC).<\/p>\n
IRGC General Mohsen Gajarian, a commander of the IRGC\u2019s armored brigade, was killed in Syria, the state-run Fars news agency reported.<\/p>\n
“At least 13 Iranians were killed in Syria during recent battles and all of them were IRGC members”, the report added saying all were killed in north-western Aleppo.<\/p>\n
Over 100 IRGC officers and trained forces have been killed over the past four months, but only some of their bodies have been transferred to Iran and a large number have been interred in Syria.<\/p>\n
On November 30, the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) published the names of 16 IRGC generals that had been killed fighting for Assad in Syria.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, the NCRI said on Friday that \u201cthe religious fascism ruling Iran has considerably ramped up its dispatch of forces to Syria amassing tens of thousands of its Revolutionary Guards and non-Iranian mercenaries around Aleppo to cruelly slaughter the deprived people of villages, townships and towns in this region in tandem with the brutal bombings of the civilians.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThrough this criminal muscle-flexing, the Iranian regime\u2019s supreme leader Khamenei is desperately trying to conceal the escalating domestic crises on the verge of the sham Assembly of Experts and parliamentary elections. Following the regime\u2019s retreat from the nuclear weapons project these crises have escalated in an unprecedented manner,\u201d the NCRI statement added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
