“The prime objective of the enemies in these (Syrian) events is not Syria itself, but the [real] aim is Iran and the Islamic community,” said Seyyed Javad Shahrestani Monday night in the Iranian city of Qom.
Pointing to the recent developments in Syria as well as the Western media publicity seeking to undermine the resistance front, Shahrestani argued, “The only country that has stood up to the aggressive Zionist regime (Israel) is Iran.”
Grand Ayatollah Sistani is the most eminent Shia cleric in Iraq with a large following among Shias across the globe.
Syria has been the scene of unrest since March 2011. The violence has claimed the lives of many people, including large numbers of security forces.
Damascus blames foreign-sponsored “outlaws, saboteurs, and armed terrorist groups” for the unrest, asserting that it is being orchestrated from overseas. The West and the Syrian opposition, however, accuse the government of killing protesters.
