A senior leader of the Iranian army has mocked Gulf Arab states for their disappointment in Syria and threatened that after the victory in Aleppo it would be the turn of places such as Bahrain, Yemen and Iraq’s Mosul.


“The people of Bahrain will get their wish, the people of Yemen will be happy and the residents of Mosul will taste victory,” deputy commander of the Iranian army Hossein Salami told his country’s IRNA news agency. “All of this is God’s promise.”


Salami described the retaking of Aleppo by Syrian government forces as the promised victory from the Koran.


He said that the victory in Aleppo would provide a chance to solve the crisis in Yemen and Bahrain, adding that Iran would stand by both countries and their people’s fight against their foes.


The Iranian army commander said that his country provided support for the Houthi rebels in Yemen and that missiles provided to them were capable of hitting enemy targets anywhere.
