The Iranian regime’s Revolutionary Guards Corp (IRGC) reaffirmed support for the Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad, as U.S. decides to supports moderate Syrian opposition forces.
IRGC Major General Mohammad Ali Jafari said on Tuesday that “support of the Syrian regime will continue” and “we strongly condemn this move by the U.S. which we see as an aggressive and bullying posture.”
The Iranian regime has been Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad’s main regional ally since the revolt against his rule erupted in March 2011.
Jafari made the remarks a day after the Iranian regime’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei dismissed effort for building an international alliance against ISIS as “pointless”.
The regime was not invited to the high-level meeting in Paris on Monday September 15th for an international strategy summit on how to combat ISIS.
