Abolfalz Tabatabai-Ashkezari
NCRI - The Iranian regime's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei has appointed a mullah as his new personal representative in Syria.
Abolfalz Tabatabai-Ashkezari was appointed to the role by Khamenei on Wednesday, April 27, the Tasnim news agency, run by the Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) Quds Forces, reported.
Khamenei has personal representatives in all 31 of Iran's provinces. The appointment of a personal representative in Syria signifies the importance Khamenei attaches to the fate of Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad.
Mehdi Ta’eb, a close protégé of Khamenei, had previously reiterated that Tehran's fate is intertwined with Assad's future. Mullah Ta’eb also described Syria as a "province of Iran."
Commenting on the appointment of mullah Abolfalz Tabatabai-Ashkezari as Khamenei's personal representative in Syria, Shahin Gobadi of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) on Monday said:
"Following the deployment of 60,000 IRGC forces, foreign mercenary militias from Iraq, Lebanon, Afghanistan and Pakistan, and more recently units of Iran's regular army, Khamenei has appointed a new mullah as his personal representative in Syria in order encourage his forces that have taken heavy casualties and are now demoralized in Syria."
