terrorist groups in the region are fighting a "proxy war" in the interest of the United States and Israel, Iran's defense minister says.
Brigadier General Hossein Dehqan made the remarks during a meeting with Syrian Defense Minister Fahd Jassem al-Freij in Tehran on Tuesday.
Dehqan said that "providing permanent security for the Zionist regime, weakening and disintegrating Moslem countries, altering the Middle East's map, countering the wave of Islamic awakening, and ultimately complete domination over this Islamic region" are the main objectives of this war.
He also reiterated Iran's full support for Syria in its battle against terrorism, saying that dialog is the only solution to the crisis in the Arab country.

also runs parallel with the joint strategies of Israel and the United States, adding, "Undoubtedly the designers and executors of this sinister scenario... will not reach their ominous goals."
