Iran Vows It Will Not Allow Assad to Fall
(Telegraph-UK) David Blair and Richard Spencer - Saeed Jalili, the secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, arrived in Damascus Tuesday as a visible symbol of Iranian support for President Assad. "Iran will never allow the resistance axis - of which Syria is an essential pillar - to break," he said. "What is happening in Syria is not an internal issue but a conflict between the axis of resistance, on one hand, and the regional and global enemies of this axis, on the other." In response, Assad reassured his Iranian guest: "The Syrian people and their government are determined to purge the country of terrorists and to fight the terrorists without respite."
