An Iranian lawmaker says the recent threats of military intervention in Syria are due to the Westâ„¢s Å“failure” in ousting the Syrian government after over two years of interference in the countryâ„¢s internal affairs.
Å“The Western states and the Zionist regime [of Israel] struggled to overthrow the legitimate Syrian government, but they failed and pursued their goals through [inciting] conflicts and civil war [in Syria],” member of Iran Majlis National Security and Foreign Policy Committee Mehdi Davatgari said on Thursday.
Davatgari further stressed that a potential military action against Syria will reveal Å“the nature of the Westâ„¢s failure” in achieving its goals during the months-long crisis in the Arab state, describing such a move as Å“nothing but incivility and interference in another countryâ„¢s affairs.”
The Iranian lawmaker also called on the Arab countries to maintain their unity in the face of the Israeli regimeâ„¢s expansionist policies.
The war rhetoric against Syria intensified after foreign-backed opposition forces accused President Bashar al-Assadâ„¢s government of having launched a chemical attack on militant strongholds in the suburbs of Damascus last week.
A number of Western countries, including the US, France, and the UK, were quick to adopt the rhetoric of war against Syria despite the fact that Damascus categorically rejected the claim, and announced later that the chemical attack had actually been carried out by the militants themselves as a false-flag operation.
Iran, among a number of other countries, has warned against the consequences of a military strike against Syria, saying that the fallout from a military action would engulf the entire region.
