Bashar Assad: It is us that ask Iran to establish bases in Syria, not them…

– After the liberation of Ghouta, we were suggested with operation in south. there are only two options, compromise with militias and their leaving, or military operation.

– The compromise process is still without any results, for America and Israel won’t allow militias to leave the region.

– Iran-Syria relations is strategic.

– When we make a decision with Iran, we are only talking with Iran, and this decision is none of any third-party’s business.

– The Axis of Resistance will clear Syria and the region from terrorism, and won’t back down from Syria’s territorial integrity.

– We want stability for Jordan, because stability in Jordan, is a benefit to us.

– The new element in Syria War, after Syria and Iran, was Russia. And we formed a triple alliance. We, Iran and Russia are feeling the threat of terrorism not only in Syria, but in the whole world.

– We were suggested that if Syria’s relation with Iran ends, Syria’s situation will go back to normal, and this is unacceptable to us.

– Our relation with Iran is old and goes back to before of Syria War. Iran has fought alongside people & the army of Syria, and gave blood in this path, and we don’t forget this.

– I will travel to Iran as soon as possible.

– Some volunteer groups of Iranians, under supervision of Iran’s advisers, are present in Syria.

– It is very soon to talk about Iran & Hezbollah’s exit from Syria.

– This is us that want Iran’s consent to establish their military bases in Syria, Iran didn’t ask.
