Lawmaker: Syrian War to Lead to Expulsion of US from Region
TEHRAN
(FNA)- A senior Iranian legislator stressed that any US-led war against
Syria would not topple the government of President Bashar Assad, and
would rather lead to the expulsion of Washington from the region.
"The Assad government will not be overthrown by a US attack and it
will remain and this will hit a blow to the Americans' reputation,"
member of the parliament's Presiding Board Mohammad Dehqan said on
Wednesday.
He said if any serious war is waged against Syria, supporters of
Damascus, including Iran, Russia and Hezbollah in Lebanon, will not
remain silent and the US interests in the region will be endangered.
Dehqan underlined that any attack against Syria will eventually kick the US out of the region.
In relevant remarks earlier this week, Iranian Defense Minister
Brigadier General Hossein Dehqan also warned the advocates of war on
Syria against its unpredictable consequences, saying such a war will
engage numerous countries and lead to a regional war.
"The Syrian government and Bashar Assad will not stand still to allow
others to topple their political system or bomb their people without
facing any reaction," Dehqan said in a televised interview with Iran's
state-run channel one TV on Monday night.
"Certainly, this reaction will be shown on the basis of the decision
made by the Syrian political leaders and will cause a new round of
reciprocal attacks in the region and it will possibly entangle others
with battle and put them in battlefield," he added.
Dehqan advised the Americans to think about the consequences and
results of invading Syria and do a cost-and-benefit before embarking on
an attack on the Middle-Eastern country.
"I believe that the US intervention with any quality will lead to the
spread of the crisis, creation of a security vacuum and make the
Americans get stuck in the region like in Afghanistan and Iraq," he
added
