The head of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) says the country has to live with the new “realities” of Syria after the removal of Tehran-backed President Bashar al-Assad, state media reported.
Regarding Syria, Iran “was really trying day and night to help in whatever way it could; we have to live with the realities of Syria; we look at them and act based on them,” Hossein Salami said, quoted by the official IRNA news agency.
“Strategies must change according to the circumstances; we cannot solve numerous global and regional issues with stagnation and employing the same tactics,” he added.
Also today, the IRGC strongly condemned “the abuse of the current instability in Syria by the US and the Zionist regime”, which is Iran’s term for Israel.

“The Resistance Front will not be passive in confronting any plan or scheme that seeks to disrupt the resistance and weaken the power and authority of the countries in the region,” the IRGC said in a statement.
