Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, said on Sunday that the United States would be expelled from Iraq and Syria and that Washington’s allies were now “hatefully rejecting” the country, reports BSS.
“The United States cannot stay in either Iraq or Syria anymore,” Khamenei said on the official website. They must leave and they will surely be expelled.”
Both the United States and Iran are involved in the Syrian conflict. There, Tehran is supporting the Damascus government. Washington, on the other hand, has been supporting Kurdish forces against Islamic State groups in the country. Since the fall of Saddam Hussein in 2003, both countries have been major geopolitical players in Iraq.
Khamenei said in a video conference with university students, Even the leaders of some of America’s allies are rejecting the US statement and government with hatred And these countries don’t trust them in many issues anymore.
The fight against the COCID-19 virus continues in both Iran and the USA. Tensions between the two arch-enemies have been high since 2016 when US President Donald Trump pulled out of a landmark international nuclear deal and imposed new sanctions on Iran.
