Imam Khamenei's remarks on Wednesday has received wide coverage by the Western media, some of which we have chosen in this report of Pars Today:
Syrian fall was result of American and Israeli plan
Reuters wrote in a report that Ayatollah Khamenei said on Wednesday, "Iran has clues which show that the overthrow of the government of Bashar Assad, the Syrian President, was the outcome of the plan of the US, Israel and one of the Syrian neighbors which he didn’t mention the name."
Reuters added, "Turkey, as a NATO member, after several trans-border attacks on the Syrian Kurdish militants, took control of some parts of the northern Syria and was one of the main supporters of the groups opposing Assad in the beginning of the war in 2011."
Iran's Leader: Downfall of Syrian government is part of joint American-Israeli plan
Associated Press, too, wrote in a report from Iran's TV, "Ayatollah Khamenei, the Leader of Iran, considers the recent Syrian developments, including the downfall of the government in the country, as part of the joint American-Israeli plan."
Associated Press, quoting from Imam Khamenei, said, "A Syrian neighboring country has also played a clear role in this regard and continues playing this role and everyone is seeing it. We have clues and these clues leave no room for doubt."
Assad's fall will not weaken Iran
AFP, also, reported, "Ayatollah Khamenei, in his first speech after the downfall of Assad, said that some people, unaware of the meaning of resistance, think that with the weakening of resistance and the downfall of Assad government in Syria will weaken the Islamic Iran, too. Iran is powerful and mighty and will become mightier, as well."
What did British media say?
The major British media, too, gave a coverage to the remarks of the Leader of the Islamic Revolution where he points to the role of the US and Israel in the events of Syria.
Sky News website wrote, "Ayatollah Khamenei delivered a speech for the first time about the overthrow of Bashar Assad. Iranian media reported that he attributed the recent developments to the joint plan of the US and Israel."
Daily Independent website, also, reported, "Ayatollah Khamenei announced that Iran has evidence which reveal that Bashar Assad's overthrow was the outcome of a plan by the US, Israel and one of the Syrian neighbors whose name he didn't mention."
This British daily added, "The Leader of the Islamic Revolution has stated these remarks while Israel has announced that it has launched more than 480 airstrikes against the Syrian military facilities, destroyed the country's air force and targeted its arsenals and strategic infrastructures."
Daily Guardian website was another British media which wrote on the issue, "Iran's Leader said that the United States and Israel have been behind the downfall of Bashar Assad in Syria. He pointed to another culprit in this regard which seems to be Turkey."
