Khamenei adviser says Russia, China among Iran war winners

Yahya Rahim Safavi, an adviser to slain Iranian leader Ali Khamenei, said the war would end before the Persian New Year and predicted China and Russia would emerge among the winners as their economic and military power grows.

Safavi said the United States had been “humiliated” and argued the conflict was moving toward a decisive victory for the Islamic Republic, adding that Iran would impose its demands this time.
