Iran Warns US Against Military Option in Syria

International

MOSCOW- Iran has warned Washington against military intervention in Syria amid growing concerns about the Syrian government’s alleged use of poison gas against civilians in the suburbs of Damascus, the Fars news agency has reported.

“Iran has announced many times that the crisis in Syria has no military solution and such provocative measures and comments will merely further complicate the situation in the region and create more tensions,” the news agency quoted Iran’s foreign ministry spokesman, Seyed Abbas Araqchi, as saying.

Iran believes the alleged gas attack in Ghouta, an eastern suburb of Damascus, was “carried out by terrorist forces,” Araqchi added. He said that the crisis in Syria can only be resolved “through talks” and no international body has issued a permission for military intervention.

His remarks came after US Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said on Sunday the White House is studying different military options against Syria.

“President Obama has asked the Defense Department to prepare options for all contingencies. We have done that and we are prepared to exercise whatever option – if he decides to employ one of those options,” Reuters quoted Hagel as saying.
