Iranian Lawmaker: Response to US Attack Will Be In Tel Aviv

Local Editor

The spokesman for the National Security and Foreign Policy Committee of Iran's Majlis Hossein Naqavi Hosseini has warned against a potential US military intervention in Syria, saying the United States will receive the response of any missile strike in Tel Aviv.

"Syria has enough capability to respond to [military] attacks on its own, and if the US fires a missile into Syria, it will receive its response in Tel Aviv," he said on Thursday.

Despite the insistence of many countries on finding a political solution to the crisis in Syria, Washington has always insisted on the military option, he added.
The US and other Western countries have intensified their rhetoric of war against Syria over allegations that the Syrian government was behind a recent chemical attack near Damascus, but Syria strictly rejected the accusations.
Syria stated that the militants in the country carried out the attack as a false-flag operation.
"The US objective of an attack on Syria goes beyond military intervention in this country because the US seeks to have a military presence along the Zionist regime's border ...[something] that Syria has not permitted the US to do, so far," Naqavi Hosseini stated.

Hosseini expressed confidence that major powers which oppose the US presence in the region will "definitely react" to any military attack on Syria.
