Iran's supreme leader blasted US policies in the Middle East as a threat to both Iran and Russia during a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Tehran on Monday.
"The Americans have a long-term plot and are trying to dominate Syria and then the whole region...This is a threat to all countries, especially Russia and Iran," Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said. "The United States is trying to achieve its failed military objectives in Syria now through political means."
