Iran: Attacking Syria Leads to Multi-Sided War in Region
TEHRAN – Iranian Defense Minister Brigadier General Hossein Dehqan 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, according to FNA.
“The Syrian government 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 Syria.
“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.
