Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei wrote that Israel was “gravely mistaken” about developments in Syria in a Tuesday message posted to his Hebrew language X/Twitter account.
“The enemies think about that after the developments in Syria, the rebellion is already over. They are tremendously mistaken,” he wrote.
Last week, Khamenei addressed the state of affairs in Syria in a Hebrew publish, noting, “The younger Syrians will liberate the territories occupied by the Zionist entity.”
האויבים מדמיינים שאחרי ההתפתחויות בסוריה, ההתקוממות כבר נגמרה. הם טועים בגדול.
