He also aimed to boost the morale of his passive and fractured forces and proclaim continued suppression.\u00a0However, Khamenei made a major miscalculation as both the weakness of his regime within Iran and its lack of legitimacy among the Iranian people became evident. Now, all mercenaries and regimes associated with Khamenei are trying to distance themselves from him.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p>Therefore, all their stances and actions must be analyzed within this framework, including the reaction of Bashar al-Assad, the dictator. Yesterday, Iran\u2019s Foreign Minister went to Syria, yet no Syrian official welcomed him at the airport. Regime media also described this as a strange move.
