Iranian Cleric: Syria Pays Price of Supporting Palestine, Iran

Local Editor

Iran's Friday cleric, Sayyed Ahmad Khatami, described the current circumstances as "the war of wills", confirming that "Syria is paying the price of supporting Palestine and Iran."

During his Friday preach in Tehran, Sayyed Khatami added that "the Islamic Revolution tree has become strong and firm, not shivered or defeated by storms."

"The US, Britain, and the European countries commit several crimes, and today these countries focus on the recent developments, at the time when the recent events in this Arab country [Syria] refer to the deepness of global arrogance," Sayyed Khatami indicated.

Moreover, Ayatollah Khatami noted the latest suicidal explosion in Syria, which killed Syrian Defense Minister and other high-ranking officials, asserting that "Act of retreat cannot be imposed on the Syrian people via terrorist practices."

"Didn't they blast the Islamic Republic Party's office in Iran? And despite all that, they Islamic regime remained strong. That is why the only way for the government and the Syrian people is through resisting the devils," the Iranian Cleric further said.

Regarding the popular protests in Saudi Arabia and Bahrain, Ayatollah Khatami believed that "it is too bad that some people call themselves "Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques", at the time when their religion became killing, and they transformed Bahrain into a big prison."

"In Saudi Arabia, they are opposing the popular demands, while the people are only demanding democracy in that Arab country; yet the only response to the people's demands is fire," he went on to say.
"Injustice will not remain in any country, and let Al-Saud and Al-Khalifa, and the rest of the ruling dynasties know that they will receive the same fate as those toppled before them," Sayyed Khatami concluded.
