Press Release
It is a Disgrace that Iran's Leaders Support Damascus' Cutthroat Regime
(Translated)

Iran's Mehr News Agency reported Mohsen Rezaei, the Expediency Council secretary, former Revolutionary Guards commander, claimed, "If this country (Syria) falls into the hands of the Americans, the Islamic awakening movement will be transformed into an American one, but if Syria preserves its policy, the Islamic awakening will become more rooted in Islam". Then, he explained: "if Syria remains independent and does not fall into the hands of the Americans and the (Western) occupiers, the Islamic awakening in the region will head towards Islam."

Osman Bakhach, Director of the Central Media Office of Hizb ut Tahrir, criticized this statement saying:

It is appalling that the Iranian official considers the policies of the criminal regime in Syria; which is based on bloodshed; the killing of innocent people; and the demolition of homes on the heads of their inhabitants; and the arrest of tens of thousands and throwing them in the dungeons of the Syrian intelligence agencies, that surpassed the Stalinist intelligence agencies in its criminality and brutality in its methods of torture, that all this is considered rooted in an Islamic awakening!!!

When reading Rezaei's statement one would think the Kafir heretic Ba'athist regime had put forth an unprecedented action in the implementation of Allah's legislation and upholding jihad, and liberating Al-Aqsa Ashareef from the filth of the Jews; or that regime had established a civilization that shook the Western civilization and the Imperial policies that continue to wreak havoc on the Islamic Ummah with its corruption and manipulation.

But apparently, the Iranian official considers the Ba'athist regime's protection of the Jewish entity in its occupation of the Golan Heights, that was handed over by Hafez, the father of the Butcher of Ash-Sham, to the Jews in what is called the War of June 5, 1967 (Six Day War); which handed over the Golan Heights to the Jews on that day. The Iranian official considers this protection of the Jewish entity achievement after achievement!!! Indeed, if you feel no shame, then do as you wish.

But this statement comes to expose the hypocrisy of the Iranian policy that raised the slogan "The Friday of Al-Quds" on the last Friday of the blessed Ramadan, while conspiring with America, the head of Kufr, in its rule over Iraq's resources, and also conspires in the subjugation of the Gulf to the American Army; the latest example of the news report of the Emirates' 12 billion dollar purchase of missiles from America as protection from the alleged Iranian danger.

We say to the Iranian official and the Iranian regime backing him that the revolution in Syria will be victorious with Allah's help, like it or not, and will progress to the establishment of the Righteous Khilafah "Caliphate". And it is beyond disgrace that an Iranian leader defends the Kafir Ba'athist regime to its death, while they are the ones not long ago revolted against the tyrant Shah of Iran.

Will the sincere people in Iran steer their leaders to the right path before Allah retribution overtakes them for their criminal policies and their support for Assad's inevitably falling regime??
