Larijani: It was said that Bashar al-Assad did not need Iran's help is not true/ The suggestion that Bashar al-Assad will come to Iran after his fall is a lie
The proposal for Bashar al-Assad to come to Iran after the fall of Bashar al-Assad's government was not raised.
Ali Larijani:
The proposal for Bashar al-Assad to come to Iran after the fall of Bashar al-Assad's government was not raised. These are storytelling. The important thing was his army, which had to stand. Syria is not a small island. We were helping against the terrorists, but we were not an alternative
When this problem arose for them, their own army also agreed that it did not have the necessary capabilities. There may have been economic issues, but there were other things as well. We didn't want to get morale pumping, but we wanted to assess what situation Bashar al-Assad is in.
