A reminder of how the "Axis of Resistance" loved Assad up until recently

It's really funny to see Iran and its proxies scramble to pretend to support the Syrian people, when just a month ago they were supporting the ruthless dictator who was repressing those same people.

Looking through older issues of Islamic Jihad's mouthpiece Palestine Today, I see this classic from 2022:

The Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Sayyed Ali Khamenei, stressed that Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and the Syrian people enjoy high esteem and prestige among the peoples of the region, noting that everyone today views Syria as a force to be reckoned with.

During his reception today, Sunday, of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and his accompanying delegation, Leader Khamenei considered the resistance and steadfastness of the people and state in Syria and the victory in an international war as having provided the ground for strengthening Syria’s position and pride.

He said: "In light of the interest, activity and strong will of the President of the Republic and the Iranian government to develop cooperation with Syria, efforts should be made to further advance relations between the two countries."

The Leader of the Revolution stressed that Syria today is not Syria before the war, and pointed to the great successes achieved by Syria in the political and military arenas, indicating that respect for Syria and its status have become much higher than they were in the past, and that everyone sees this country as a force.

Or who can forget this greatest hit:

Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has won a new presidential term for the fourth time in a row after winning 95.1 percent of the votes, according to results announced by People's Assembly Speaker Hammoudeh Sabbagh on Thursday.

Not to mention this from this past August:

The Syrian President sent greetings to the resistance fighters in Palestine, Lebanon, Iraq, and Yemen, who represent "a role model, an example, and a model for us to follow on the path of liberation, dignity, honor, and independence."

The "strong horse" theory remains in place, and there are fewer and fewer strong horses in the Iranian orbit.
