Iran Guards to act on new 'realities' in post-Assad Syria 

TEHRAN, Dec 12: The head of Iran's Revolutionary Guards said the country has to live with the new "realities" of Syria after the ouster of Tehran-backed president Bashar al-Assad, state media reported Thursday.

Regarding Syria, Iran "was really trying day and night to help in whatever way it could; we have to live with the realities of Syria; we look at them and act based on them," Hossein Salami said, quoted by the official IRNA news agency.

"Strategies must change according to the circumstances; we cannot solve numerous global and regional issues with stagnation and employing the same tactics," he added.    —AFP
