Israeli Attacks on Syria Meant to Prop up Terrorists: Iran

Iran has condemned Israel’s recent attack on Syria, calling it an attempt by the main supporter of terrorist groups in Syria to retaliate their many defeats against the Syrian government.

“The Zionist regime’s repeated attacks on Syrian soil under self-proclaimed, baseless pretexts amount to a blatant violation of Syria’s sovereignty and goes against all international conventions,” Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Bahram Qassemi said in an early Friday statement, according to Press TV.

 Qassemi said the terror groups were in fact “proxies” waging war on behalf of the US, Israel and their regional allies.

“Today, the main supporters of these groups are directly attacking and invading Syrian territories in an attempt to avenge the many failures of their self-created terrorists and tip the scales in their favor,” he asserted.

“The Zionist regime cannot stand peace and stability in the region and sees its own safety in making the region all the more unstable,” the ministry spokesman argued, blasting the international community for giving the Israeli regime the green light by refusing to take action in the face of its crimes.
