But Khamenei insisted: “Let everyone know that this situation will not remain as it is -- is unacceptable.
1. The fact that some people in Damascus celebrate, dance
2. and violate the homes of others while...
3. the Zionist regime bombs Syria, enters their territory with tanks and artillery

The Syrian youth will undoubtedly stand firm and overcome this situation.”

HTS and Iran:
Iran is already losing privileged access to the new Damascus government due to be dominated by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) until at least next March, and was not among the group of Arab states offered a briefing on Tuesday in the capital.

By contrast, Qatar, a country that refused to recognise Assad, is due to reopen its embassy shortly, and is likely to be a key player in trying to persuade the Sunni HTS it needs to be inclusive if it is to thrive and enjoy sanctions relief.

Hamas and HTS:
In a further blow to Iran’s status as defenders of the Palestinian cause, Hamas, the leaders of the Palestinian resistance in Gaza, has welcomed the fall of Iran’s ally Assad.
