A member of the Iranian parliament has harshly criticized Bashar Assad of Syria and Vladimir Putin of Russia on June 27, saying that these two leaders will “soon sacrifice us” to Israel and the U.S.
Behrouz Bonyadi in a speech before the start of the regular meeting of parliament declared, “Bashar Assad, with full impudence, has cozied up to Putin”. In these unprecedented remarks, Bonyadi added, “Russia will not be a trustworthy friend for us”.
He accused Russia of “betrayal” in the latest OPEC meeting and in the Caspian Sea Convention, but “being oblivious to the fact that in politics today…there are no permanent friends or enemies, we continue the same policies and abstain from a face-off with these two individuals”.
Iran and Russia have been staunch allies of Bashar Assad in the Syrian civil war and prevented the fall of his regime.
