Syrian President Bashar Assad Is Confident That Russia And Iran Will Continue To Support Him



Washington Times: Syria’s Bashar Assad says Russian and Iranian support won’t wane

Syrian President Bashar Assad says Iran-back Hezbollah fighters are playing a completely legitimate role in bolstering Syria’s military against terrorists and that he has “strong confidence” Russia will also continue to support his embattled regime.

In a rare interview that aired Tuesday night on Hezbollah’s Lebanon-based al-Manar television network, the Syrian leader also said that Iran’s support for his government will not wane as a result of the recent nuclear accord reached between Tehran and several world powers, including the U.S.
