RNA - "The US missile strike on Syria is a strategic mistake for Trump administration," General Rahim Safavi said.

He reiterated that the US missile attacks reveal that President Trump is supporter of terrorists.

"The naked truth about Trump’s direct order to attack Syria is support for the terrorists which is doomed to failure," the Supreme Leader's top military aide said.

General Rahim Safavi also made a comparison between Trump's diplomacy and former US President Barack Obama’s policy of creating the ISIL terrorist group and his support for them.

Under the direct order of US President Donald Trump an assault was carried out on Syria's Shayrat airbase on Thursday night as an excuse for the alleged use of chemical weapons by the Syrian government.

The attack was without the UN or even the US Congress authorization and it was against international laws and conventions.
