A Syrian downfall would translate into fall of regime in Tehran

NCRI – If the Syrian government were to fall, the Iranian regime’s influence in the region and Lebanon will diminish considerably resulting in a weaker Hezbollah, French daily Liberation wrote on Tuesday.

The paper pointed to the Tehran-backed Hezbollah and said, “A potential fall of government in Syria, which is a strategic ally of the Iranian regime, will cause worries for the Shiite party, because most of the weapons sent to it from the Iranian regime pass though Syria.”

Another French paper, Le Figaro, called Syria “the key to the Arab Spring,” adding, “A downfall of the regime in Syria can bring about the fall of the Islamic Republic in Iran.”
