Our dealings with the Syrian leadership depend on its actions

Iranian Leader Ali Khamenei’s chief advisor, Ali Larijani, confirmed that “his country’s leadership’s dealings with the new authority in Syria depend on its behavior, and that if its behavior is rational, then there is no problem with it.”

During a television interview, Larijani referred to Tehran’s position on the recent radical changes that affected Syria and the fall of Bashar al-Assad’s regime on December 8, saying: “Our dealings with them depend on their actions if they say that they are defending the territorial integrity of Syria, granting all groups their rights, and building a democratic state.” We will support them.”

He added, wondering: “But, will they implement this talk on the ground?” This is what’s important. Will their insides be the same as they are on the outside?

He considered that “the silence of the new rulers of Syria in the face of the Zionist occupation will not be in their interest.”
