Iranian army official hails 'victory' of Aleppo

Deputy Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces Brigadier General Massoud Jazayeri hailed the "victory" of fighters in Syria and Iraq, in a statement to the Tasnim news agency.  

He warned regional backers of “terrorists” to end their support and distance themselves from American and "international Zionist policies".  

He warned America to learn a lesson from the "liberation" of Aleppo and to withdraw from the region.
