“The Zionist regime has used this situation to further occupy and destroy all the infrastructure of Syria,” Khatami said.

Addressing the Arab and regional countries, he warned, “Zionist regime aims to occupy from the Nile to the Euphrates, and if it gains power, it will come to you as well.”

Calling on regional countries to prevent the Israeli regime before it gets late, Ayatollah Khatami emphasized, “This is a danger to global security and the international community must stand up to stop this regime.”
