Iran's FM Zarif Abruptly Resigns Just As Assad Makes First Visit To Iran Since War's Start
For the first time in eight years Syria's President Bashar al-Assad has made his first public visit to Iran, meeting Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in Tehran on Monday and cementing their alliance while claiming joint victory in the war, state media reported. Before this week Assad had only visited Russia since the war began, and last traveled to Tehran in 2010, just before conflict began in Syria.
Assad and Khamenei were shown smiling and embracing on Syrian and Iranian state television and vowed “to continue cooperation at all levels for the interests of the two friendly nations,” according to official press releases. They also used the opportunity to declare military victory in the Syrian proxy war raging since 2011, which pit a foreign-backed jihadist insurgency against the Iran and Russian aligned secular Baathist government in Damascus.
Khamenei said the Syrian-Iranian military alliance had dealt “a harsh blow” to US plans in the region, which involved empowering Gulf-aligned Sunni forces seeking to topple the Syrian state, and thus remove a key ally of both Tehran and Hezbollah.
Also greeting Assad during a televised ceremony on Monday was Major General Qassem Soleimani, the head of Iran’s elite Quds Force of the the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).
Both Sunni insurgents in Syria and Israel have vowed to defeat Iran's presence in Syria, and were enraged when Gen. Solemani made recent appearances on the Syrian battlefield. He has appeared on frontlines across Syria, where his presence has infuriated Sunni-led insurgents who oppose what they view as Shi’ite Iranian expansion in the region.

Warren Buffett says Berkshire overpaid for Kraft Heinz
(Reuters) - Warren Buffett said on Monday his Berkshire Hathaway Inc overpaid in the 2015 merger that created Kraft Heinz Co, but he had no plans to flee the struggling packaged foods company.
Buffett spoke four days after Kraft Heinz took a $15.4 billion writedown for its Kraft and Oscar Mayer brands and other assets, slashed its dividend, and said the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission was probing its accounting.
Kraft Heinz's share price sank 27.5 percent on Friday, wiping out more than $16 billion (12 billion pounds) of market value, and causing Berkshire to lose $4.3 billion on its stake. Berkshire owns 26.7 percent of Kraft Heinz.
"I was wrong in a couple of ways on Kraft Heinz," Buffett said on CNBC television. "We overpaid for Kraft."
Buffett did not say by how much Berkshire overpaid, but said the market reacted "probably quite properly" to the news.
He also said he has "absolutely no intention" of adding to or subtracting from Berkshire's stake in Kraft Heinz, saying the company had "very, very strong" brands and that he would be happy to own it a decade from now.
