The dictator solidarized with the regime of the ayatollahs.

Lukashenko said that the United States of America is at war against his friends, the Iranian regime of ayatollahs. The ruler said this to the U.S. President's Special Envoy to Belarus John Cole on March 19.

"I would urge you that we discuss regional problems. And not just the problems of Ukraine, but global problems. And not just the war in the Middle East. I think my point of view on global problems, especially on the situation in the Middle East, will be important for you, because you are fighting against our friends. And I am ready to talk frankly on this topic," the dictator told Trump's envoy, who arrived in Minsk.

Lukashenko said earlier that "The United States and Israel bombed an ancient country", and called the liquidated tyrant Ali Khamenei a "humanist."
