The message comes in response to US accusations that claim Iran and Syria conduct 'destabilizing activities' in the region
“The US has expressed concern about the Iranian president’s visit to Syria and its results … Of course, the anger of the evil regime, whose horns have been broken in Syria and the entire region by Iran and the axis of resistance … is natural,” Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Nasser Kanaani tweeted on 4 May.
“Be angry and die angry,” Kanaani added, repeating a quote by former Iranian Judiciary Chief Mohammad Beheshti, who was killed in 1981 during a terror attack by the US-backed Mujahedin-e-Khalq (MEK) organization.
آمریکا از سفر رئیس جمهور ایران به سوریه و نتایج آن ابراز نگرانی کرده و آنها را شرور توصیف کرد!
البته عصبانيت رژیم شروری که شاخ آن در سوریه و کل منطقه توسط ایران و محور مقاومت شکسته شده و باید به حضور متجاوزانه خود در سوریه پایان دهد، طبیعی است.

US State Department deputy spokesperson Vedant Patel said on 3 May that deepening ties between Iran and Syria “should be of great concern to the world.”
According to the US official, Tehran, and Damascus “have continued to partake in malign destabilizing activities, not just in their immediate countries, but also in the region.”
He then reiterated that the White House has “made it clear” to their allies in West Asia that it does not support normalization with Damascus.
On Wednesday morning, the Iranian president arrived in Damascus for a two-day visit, the first trip by an Iranian head of state to the Syrian capital since 2010.
Raisi is leading a large economic and political delegation, including the ministers of foreign affairs, defense, oil, roads and urban development, telecommunications, and several private sector businessmen.
The two sides on Wednesday signed 14 long-term cooperation agreements, including on trade, oil and energy, railroad and air transportation, free trade zones, earthquake safety, and others.
“Syria and Iran did not gamble at all, and did not put the fate of their countries and peoples in the hands of foreigners,” Assad said during a joint news conference with Raisi, stressing that the two allied nations “bet on the victory of truth in the end, and won the bet.”
“Syria’s government and people have gone through great difficulties, and today we can say that you have … overcome all these problems and achieved victory despite the threats and sanctions imposed against you,” Raisi told his Syrian counterpart.
Raisi’s landmark visit to Damascus is part of an ongoing regional push – led by Saudi Arabia – to welcome Syria back into the regional fold after the failure of the western-backed war.
