The Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Imam Sayyed Ali Khamenei reaffirmed Tehran’s unflinching stance of “supporting peace” in Syria.

As he received Ghanaian President John Dramani Mahama, Imam Khamenei said that Syria cannot be prescribed solutions from the outside, stressing that the Syrian are the only side who will decide their fate.

His eminence also said that independent states must tighten their ranks to thwart plots by hegemonic powers.

“Domineering powers oppose warm relations between Iran and Africa and are also the major source of wars, conflicts, and supplies for terrorist groups,” the Leader asserted.

“The cure for all of these problems, however, rests in the gravitation of ‘independent countries’ toward each other and the enhancement of their cooperation.”

“Terrorist groups in our region and Africa are the protégés of American, British, and Zionist spy services,” Imam Khamenei said.

The Leader also raised the question of how the terrorists in Syria were provided with the massive volumes of advanced weaponry and cash that they have been employing against the Arab country.

“The root of all problems is arrogant powers, most importantly the United States, and the Zionist regime is also the epitome of evil,” Imam Khamenei said.

For his part, Mahama hailed the Leader’s remarks as encouragement toward the creation of a peaceful world and said, “Iran’s foreign policy is truly based on respect for [other] nations’ rights to determine their fate.”
