Iranian official Mohsen Rezaei predicted a revival of Syrian resistance within a year, citing opposition to foreign occupation, external aggression, and internal authoritarianism.
“The resilient youth and people of Syria will not remain silent in the face of foreign occupation, external aggression, and the internal authoritarianism of a single group. Within less than a year, they will revive resistance in Syria in a new form,” Mohsen Rezaei, a member of Iran’s Expediency Council, wrote on his X account.
Rezaei's comments come amid a regional reconfiguration and shifting power dynamics in Syria following the fall of the Bashar Assad government. Earlier this week, Syria’s new foreign minister warned Iran to refrain from "spreading chaos" in the country after a call by Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei for Syrian youth to rise up against the country's new Sunni Islamist leaders.
