NCRI –\u00a0Following an increased number of deaths among the Revolutionary Guard\u2019s commanders and forces deployed to Syria, the Iranian regime\u2019s supreme leader said in a meeting with the families of the victims on Tuesday 1 November that \u201cwe are particularly proud of those killed defending the holy places in Syria.\u201d<\/p>\n
Khamenei also made some comments on Wednesday 2 November on regional issues which has turned into a subject of regime\u2019s internal dispute these days. \u201cSome people say let\u2019s go negotiate with this same United States on issues like Syria, Hezbollah in Lebanon, Iraq, Afghanistan, Yemen and even the country\u2019s internal issues so as to reach a compromise! But our negotiations with the United States is not going to solve our problems. In fact, it not only won\u2019t solve our problems but it will increase them\u201d, said Khamenei.<\/p>\n
The comments by Khamenei are made at a time when Rafsanjani has recently stated that \u201cHezbollah has been involved in Syria and its forces have got into trouble. Currently, the situation in the region is too bad and we are spending on it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Also the Iranian regime\u2019s former Deputy to the Ministry of Interior acknowledged that defending holy shrines in Syria is only an excuse for waging war against the Syrian people. In an interview with an state media, Mostafa Tajzadeh said that \u201cwe are accused of killing the Syrian people and seeking sectarianism, our reputation has been hurt and we go deeper in the Syrian quagmire every day.\u201d<\/p>\n
Tajzadeh was forced to acknowledge that Khamenei\u2019s intervention as well as Bashar Assad\u2019s crimes (in Syria) have empowered ISIS. \u201cSome of the Islamic Republic\u2019s policies in the past few years especially with regard to Syria have been wrong, helping ISIS rise to power.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mostafa Tajzadeh acknowledged the regime\u2019s political failure and added: \u201cthe sad thing is that despite spending so much , the Islamic Republic is not allowed to participate in the major decision-makings over the future of Syria. All the parties involved meet and make decisions, except us. Even in this regard, (the regime) has been humiliated in the Syrian crisis.\u201d<\/p>\n
