A \u201ctop-secret\u201d document revealed during the recent takeover of the Iranian regime\u2019s secured Presidential servers and websites confirms how the ruling theocracy has squandered billions of dollars to prop up the regime of Syrian dictator Bashar-al Assad. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

On May 29th, the dissident group, \u201cGhiyam ta Sarnegouni,\u201d<\/a> or \u201cRise to Overthrow,\u201d claimed responsibility for disabling various websites and servers connected to the Iranian regime\u2019s presidency. They began releasing a series of classified documents. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

One of these documents is a letter authored by Mohammad Mokhber, Vice President of Ebrahim Raisi, to the regime\u2019s supreme leader about Tehran\u2019s relations with Damascus.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In his letter to Khamenei, Mokhber acknowledges that Syria’s debts to Iran in the civilian and non-security sectors alone amounted to approximately $11.6 billion by 2020.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

He also acknowledges that the amount Tehran wanted to give to Damascus in 2021 \u201cIs being calculated,\u201d suggesting that the clerical regime intends to continue squandering national wealth to keep a vicious dictator in power. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

According to this letter, \u201cThe debts about security and military that Syria should return to Iran will be calculated by the Revolutionary Guards Quds Forces<\/a> and will be added to this list once the Syrian Ministry of Defense ratified it.\u201d In other words, Mokhber acknowledges the regime\u2019s devastating meddling in Syria since the beginning of protests in that country.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In a section of this letter, Mokhber mentions that the current situation of the Assad regime in Syria requires less military and security support from the Iranian regime compared to the period the Assad regime was struggling for survival. It is also noted that the regime’s mercenaries in Syria no longer have the same freedom of action as before, highlighting the need for a devised plan regarding this matter. Furthermore, the letter states that there is no prospect for investing in Syria due to the immense reconstruction needs of the Syrian regime, which require resources and funds amounting to several hundred billion dollars.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\t\t
