Iranian Deputy FM: Israel Prime Victim of War on Syria
TEHRAN
(FNA)- Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister for Arab and African Affairs
Hossein Amir Abdollahian warned of the dire consequences of an attack on
Syria by the US and its allies, saying that the Zionist regime of
Israel will be the first target of retaliatory operations by the
regional forces, if Damascus comes under aggression.
“The war option will further complicate the situation,” Amir Abdollahian said in Moscow on Tuesday.
“Our studies over the past days indicate that any war that breaks out
in Syria will not remain confined to Syria, and although the US speaks
of a limited war, the Middle-East realities show that in the event of
war, it will not remain limited,” the Iranian official stated.
“The Zionist regime of Israel will be attacked by certain players
including terrorist groups that have had activities in Syria over recent
years,” Amir Abdollahian pointed out.
On Monday, Amir Abdollahian underlined that Tehran is resolved to try
all diplomatic ways to find a peaceful solution to the crisis in Syria.
In a meeting with his Russian Counterpart Mikhail Bogdanov in Moscow,
Amir Abdollahian called for further consultations between Tehran and
Moscow to find a political solution to the Syrian crisis.
Iran and Russia are against any use of chemical weapons in Syria and
oppose military intervention in the country, Amir Abdollahian added.
He warned that any form of military intervention in Syria would lead to an unlimited war in the region.
On Tuesday, Amir Abdollahian discussed the latest developments in
Syria, particularly Russia's proposal to put Syria's chemical weapons
under international control, with Syrian Foreign Minister Walid
al-Mualem in Moscow.
Amir Abdollahian left Tehran for Moscow on Monday to confer with the
senior Russian officials on the latest developments in Syria.
The call for military action against Syria intensified after
foreign-backed opposition forces accused the Syrian government of
launching a chemical attack on militant strongholds in the suburbs of
Damascus on August 21.
Damascus has vehemently denied the accusations, saying the chemical
attack was carried out by the militants themselves as a false flag
operation.
Syria has been gripped by deadly unrest since 2011. According to
reports, the western powers and their regional allies -- especially
Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey -- are supporting the militants
operating inside Syria.
According to the United Nations, more than 100,000 people have been
killed and a total of 7.8 million of others displaced due to the
violence.
