Iran: it is clear that Assad’s government will not collapse

Share:

INTERNATIONAL-US-SYRIA-IRANIranian professor Professor Mohammad Marandi wrote a column in Iran’s state-run national media, calling on Western governments to set aside their illusions about the overthrow of President Assad.

“It is clear that – as the Iranians were saying from the start – the Syrian government will not collapse and that the only way forward is for this reality to be acknowledged,” wrote Marandi.

He warned that taking side with one party in the ongoing conflict in Syria will result in “more death and destruction.”

Marandi said the international community has to “support an election where the Syrian people choose their own leadership.”

He said it has become clear that foreign-backed militants have been behind the crisis in Syria while “their regional and Western backers” persistently laid the blame on the Syrian government.

Marandi said the US and its allies initially assumed that the crisis in Syria was “more birth pangs of a new Middle East” or “or perhaps a dagger through the heart of the Islamic Republic” but now after innumerable deaths and unmentionable destruction they have come around to the views of Iran from the beginning.

    And it is also clear Assad will never have ANY respect in the world, OR in his own country again from anyone not in the Shabiha.

  2. Once Kerry had finished just recently telling a nervous Lavrov that the U.S. despite all disagreements with Russia will not be supplying the Syrian opposition with heavy weapons such as manpads, that the Russians, Iranians, Assad and Hezbollah came out making this boasting statement.

    Until the next round… As Obama and the Democrats head out and the Republicans bring Jeb Bush to deal with it. OH NO not another Bush! 😉

      If Jeb wins the primaries he sure has a chance
      He was actually the one groomed to be president by the father
      if they’re going to nominate a tea partier or a Mormon cardinal again the democrats are staying

    Its clear that with an ongoing war Assad will never be able to be the leader of Syria again. The only way the war will end will be with direct military intervention from the West (Iran is already doing this through Hezbollah, so its only fair) or some serious technological for the rebels, preferably strictly the FSA. But I guess we’ll see what happens.

      It is probable that the Zionists and their Arabian Desert vassals will try to pressure the US Congress again for war, but the endeavor would be futile. God wills for Assad to not end up like the Seleucid King Antiochus IV – whose death the jewish cult celebrates annually on “hanukkah.”

        It doesn’t matter if Assad wins the war or not….

          It doesn’t? Imagine all the billions of dollars the West has invested in toppling Assad and turning Syria into a lawless jungle. The princes of the Arabian Desert have a great stake in all of this as well, having spent billions on foreign exploits while their people bathed in poverty.

          Even if Assad eventually heeds power to a younger apprentice, this war means everything for Syria. Will it go into the annals as a dysfunctional protectorate of NATO, or rebuild? Such is one question.

            The war will go one of two ways. The opposition gets full control of Syria or Assad will control some areas while the rest of Syria will have smaller governments per region. It is impossible for Assad to gain all of Syria back, or even 75%, with all the hatred he has stirred up in the Sunnis.

            Assad’s army would not exist without Sunni fighters. I have the impression that the population at large is rather removed from this manufactured split between sunni and shia, which is used to explain the war in western media. Such is regularly touted by pundits: “It’s not like the West has anything to do with it, what we are seeing is just a religious war between two sects of Islam! Aren’t these people backwards? We should support Israel, the only democracy in the Middle East, and freedom-bomb Syria just like we did Libya!”

            Should the Syrian opposition not break and dissolve into a variety of principalities, as has been occurring, I’m sure Assad will divide and conquer them. Take the Kurds, who are friendly with Damascus in so far as the opposition at large is concerned.

            I agree with your second paragraph unless an outside force steps in as they have for Assad, but I don’t agree with your first. A couple strikes from Israel is nothing compared to what NATO did to Libya. This is a war of most Sunnis vs Shiites(Alawites included) and the few Sunnis pampered by Assad’s government. It isnt so much about democracy as it is tired of being ruled by a minority. How would you like to be living in South Africa in the late 1900s ruled by the whites who have a history of oppressing your people. The felling isnt this extreme, but its quite similiar.

            True … and considering the way it’s going, certainly not in his own lifetime even if he miraculously manages to live it to a natural end. Anyone who can say ‘win’ out of this Syrian-baked mess is a slightly deranged human … perhaps mostly heard from by-products of other great ‘refugee creations’. Seeing the flattening of a huge tract of land called a ‘country’, and the end of it’s infrastructure, as a ‘glorious WIN’ in ANY sense of the word is simply the same as the fairy-tales of the books which some ‘believe’ verbatim.
            By the way … listen to the pundits’ ‘criticism’ about a new movie called ‘Noah’.
            Seems many people never really read the books, but only the children’s fairy-tales. :-)))

    2. Lol, so are you telling us that the only outside intervention thus far in Syria is HA. So all those terrorist who have been killed or caught and who have come from various countries in the region and not to mention the various western countries who have also had their fare share of fighters are all Syrian. Come on real, lets get real.

        Basically, Farq, they are all ‘FANATICS’, no matter where they came from.
        The only difference is that Hezzy is an organized bunch of them. 😉
