Iranian Vice-President Mohammad Reza Rahimi lashed out at the West and certain Arab states for supporting the armed gangs fighting against the government of Syria.
Rahimi made the remarks in a telephone conversation with Syrian Prime Minister Wael al-Halqi on Tuesday, according to FNA.
“Responsibility for such terrorist operations lie with the governments supporting terrorists in Syria,” the Iranian vice-president said.
The Syrian prime minister, for his part, thanked Iran for its support, and said, “Syrians will not allow their country to be occupied by the enemies and foreigners.”
Al-Halqi said that the Syrian army had over recent weeks scored successes.
