Iranian official: Israel will regret Syria strike | |
2013-02-04 | |
A top Iranian official visiting Damascus on Monday said Israel will regret its "latest aggression" on Syria and said the entire Muslim world should be ready to defend the Syrian people.
Jalili spoke to reporters at a news conference in Damascus at the end of a three-day visit to Syria. "Just as it regretted its aggressions after the 33-day, 22-day and eight-day wars, today the Zionist entity will regret the aggression it launched against Syria," Jalili said, referring to past wars between Israel and the Lebanese militant Hezbollah and Palestinian Hamas groups. Israeli warplanes struck a site near the Syrian capital, Damascus, last week, targeting what U.S. officials said were ground-to-air missiles apparently heading for Hezbollah. Syria said the strike targeted a military research facility and vowed retaliation, but has so far refrained from any response. | |
