“We see the escalation of the conflict, but the main goal (USA) – to retain American hegemony over the world, not to allow anyone to be a partner in the political or international arena, be it Russia or even its allies in the West. So that’s the smell of war, which you describe as the Third world war, felt in the air, but this is not a direct military confrontation,” – said Assad.
He also stressed that Russia, Iran and Hezbollah, his constant allies on the “legal basis” and there are other countries that, according to Assad, “interfering with the purpose of supporting the terrorists.”
