Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Ayatollah Imam Sayyed Ali Khamenei says Tehran vehemently against any foreign meddling in Syria as it supports Damascus for baking the resistance.

In a meeting with visiting Turkish Prime Minister, Imam Khamenei said: ““The Islamic Republic will defend Syria because of its support for the resistance front against the Zionist regime (Israel) and is vehemently opposed to any intervention by foreign forces in Syrian internal affairs”.

The leader also slammed the way world powers have been dealing with regional states, and in particular the United States, saying: “The Americans recognize no nation as an independent nation”.

“The Americans treat all countries in this [instrumental] way, and therefore the interests of Islamic countries should be taken into account in decision-makings”.

Talking about the situation of the region, Imam Khamenei emphasized the importance that independent nations make “correct decisions”.

On the other hand, Erdogan called for developing bilateral ties between Ankara and Tehran.
“We believe that, given this long history [of bilateral relations], the ties between the two countries should be further deepened, particularly in the area of infrastructural collaborations”, the Turkish PM told the Leader at the holy city of Mashhad.
