Iran Warns against Western Intervention in Syria

Iran sees no justification for any Western intervention in the “internal affair” of Syria, foreign ministry spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast said on Tuesday.

“The events in Syria are its internal affair and there is no justification for any foreign intervention as it can only create many problems,” Mehmanparast said during his weekly press briefing. “Western leaders, especially Americans, are used to interfering in the internal affairs of countries and using any pretext to march with their military forces and occupy the country,” he added.

Mehmanparast also warned that any intervention by Washington will only stoke “public hatred” of the United States in the region.
