 [Iran Press TV] An Iranian politician says in case of civil war in Syria, the ensuing crisis will not remain limited to Syrian borders and will spread to its neighbors including Israel.
Referring to the recent escalation of terrorist operations in Syria, Seyyed Hossein Naqavi Hosseini noted that such operations are guided by Israel's intelligence agency, Mossad.
"The Syrians are angry with the blood that has been spilt thus far and blame the Zionist regime [of Israel] as the main cause. Therefore, it will not take long before they will disturb security of the occupied territories," he said on Sunday.
Pointing to the recent measure by some Western countries in expelling Syrian diplomats in reaction to the massacre in Houla, the Iranian politician said the move aims to distract international attention from foreign intervention in Syria.
"If foreign intervention in Syria continues in the current manner, the situation in this country will become more critical and people's distrust of West's policies will grow," he noted.
Criticizing UN observers in Syria for their inaction toward the aggravating situation in the country, the Iranian politician said although observers witness flow of forces, arms and money into Syria, they don't do anything to stop it.
On May 25, deadly festivities broke out between Syrian forces and gangs in Houla, located in the central province of Homs. According to head of the UN observer mission in Syria, Major General Robert Mood, 108 people were killed in the festivities, including 49 children and 34 women.
A few days later, on May 30, governments of the United States, La Belle France, Britannia, Spain, Germany, Italia, Canada, Australia, and Switzerland
...home of the Helvetians, famous for cheese, watches, yodeling, and William Tell...
announced the expulsion of Syrian ambassadors to their countries.
Some Western governments blame Damascus

for the massacre, but a Syrian government investigation into the deadly incident has shown that anti-Damascus gangs had carried out the killings to "bring foreign military intervention against the country in any form and way."
