In #Iran the number of people that knew about #Assad’s visit was less than fingers of 2 hands. #Rouhani was told a day before, but he preferred not to inform anyone. His chief of staff @Dr_Vaezi even didn’t know who he is going to welcome at the door of president office. #Syria

#Assad and Soleimani left Mehrabad airport at 9 am, with a small but very strong escort directly drove to SL #Khamenei’s office in downtown Tehran, then met #Rouhani who didn’t put #Syria’s flag in meeting room to avoid raising suspicions. #Iran

#Assad was in Tehran for only 4 hours and departed for #Syria with Soleimani. Cameramen & photographers remained were held in a closed room. The news about his visit were released just after he reached his office in #Damascus in safety. #Iran

Sobhe_no indirectly mocks #Zarif when it writes “Neither FM al-Muallem nor #Syria’s ambassador in #Iran were aware of #Assad’s visit” but none of them resigned over it.
