It is celebration of victory over the devilish forces of dissension, destruction, and destabilization.

The Iranian president’s historic trip to Damascus and the red carpet welcome accorded to him by his Syrian counterpart is actually a victory lap for the triumph of the Resistance Front over not just the most macabrely murderous terrorists, but also their most satanic supporters, especially the US and the illegal Zionist entity.

The keen political vision of Dr. Bashar al-Assad, a qualified Ophthalmology by training, while gradually being admitted through much belated statements from fellow Arab leaders who are now making a beeline for restoration of ties after a decade of being duped by their common enemy, the US, to try to ostracize and if possible overthrow him, was formally confirmed by Hojjat al-Islam Dr. Seyyed Ibrahim Raisi, the representative of the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, whose guidelines were instrumental in salvaging the territorial integrity, national sovereignty, and Islamic-Arab identity of Syria.

Wednesday’s historic meeting in Damascus between honoured guest Raisi and courteous host Assad, who again expressed his deepest gratitude for Iran’s vital role in protecting the prestige and power of Syria, was, however, marked by the conspicuous absence of the main architect of the victory.

Yes, the two presidents and their delegations rather felt sad in missing General Qassem Soleimani, a deft diplomat and a brilliant military strategist who was martyred in the most cowardly manner in January 2020 by the vanquished foe, the US, whose economic power, military might, sadistic savagery, and satanic sedition miserably failed to bring Syria to its knees.

Anyway, so firmly did Soleimani’s humanitarian efforts in laying foundations of regional stability (Lebanon, Syria, and other threatened countries included) have proved that today Tehran and Damascus, as backbones of the Resistance Front which is fully confident of ending once and for all the Zionist threat, have jointly embarked upon solidifying not just political cooperation and economic-industrial construction, but defence potential for the liberation of Palestine.

As many as 15 agreements of cooperation in various fields have already been signed on the first day of the visit of President Raisi, who as thanksgiving will pay his humble respects in Damascus at the holy shrines of Hazrat Zainab (SA) and Hazrat Ruqayya (SA) – Prophet Muhammad’s (SAWA) granddaughter and great-granddaughter respectively – in whose defence, along with the native Syrians, many Iranian, Iraqi, Afghan, and Pakistani Muslims achieved immortal martyrdom.

President Raisi hailing Iran-Syria relations as “rich, fruitful, and full of experiences,” said the mutual ties of the brotherly two countries “are tied to the blood of our beloved martyrs, especially General Qassem Soleimani, and this is a key to the stability and strength of the relations between Tehran and Damascus.

The two countries have also minced no words in calling for the end of US occupation of some parts of Syria and withdrawal of all American forces from the region.

Hopefully, decisively defeated Washing will heed this advice before it is too late, or else there will be no other choice for the Resistance Front other than send the uninvited soldiers back to their country in body bags.

Israel your days are numbered as well, as is evident by the Iranian president’s interview on Tuesday with Lebanon’s al-Mayadeen TV: “The Islamic Republic’s power is not a secret to anyone. The Zionist regime’s first [potential] act of folly [against Iran] would also be its last.”
