(Worthy News) – Syrian President Bashar Assad paid a short visit to Tehran on Sunday, meeting with Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and President Ebrahim Raisi during his brief sojourn, according to Iranian and Syrian media.
It was only the second visit Assad has made to Iran since Syria’s civil war began in 2011, although Tehran has been a consistent supporter of the Damascus regime and has given it financial and military support during the 11-year conflict.
Assad’s last reported visit to Iran took place in February 2019. [ Source: Deutche Welle (Read More…) ]
