TEHRAN – U.S. forces in Syria are heading towards the same doomed fate that they suffered in Afghanistan, a high-ranking Iranian general said, stressing that the Americans will have to run away from the entire West Asia region, accept Iran as a major power, and rejoin the JCPOA.
Major General Yahya Rahim Safavi, the top military adviser to Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei, said the Americans cannot stay in Syria and will have to escape in the same way that they left Afghanistan. “The Americans will have to flee from Syria soon in the same way that they fled Afghanistan.”
