IRGC Commander: US Possible Military Aggression against Syria to Face Tough Int’l Reaction

Commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Major General Mohammad Ali Jafari warned Washington to abort war plans against Syria, saying that the US will be faced with reactions coming from beyond the Syrian borders if it goes on with its aggression plans.
“The US imagination about limited military intervention in Syria is merely an illusion, as reactions will be coming from beyond Syria’s borders,” Major General Jafari said on Saturday.

The IRGC commander pointed to the recent US threats of a military strike on Syria, and said when the White House leaders failed to rally international support to form a coalition for a new war in the region, they were made to resort to the so-called plans for limited war on Syria.

He stressed that those who assist the US in such military intervention will themselves face immediate crises in their national security.

Earlier this week, The Leader of Islamic Ummah and Oppressed People Imam Seyed Ali Khamenei warned of the dire consequences of any military intervention in Syria for the region, and said the US will certainly be severely harmed by pursuing warmongering policies against the Muslim country.

“The US threats and possible intervention in Syria is a disaster for the region and if such an act is done, certainly, the Americans will sustain damage like when they interfered in Iraq and Afghanistan,” the Supreme Leader said in a meeting with members of the new Iranian cabinet in Tehran on Wednesday.

The Leader of Islamic Ummah and Oppressed People Imam Seyed Ali Khamenei cautioned the US and its allies that their military intervention in Syria would yield no result but blazing fire and increasing nations’ hatred from them.

The Leader of Islamic Ummah and Oppressed People Imam Seyed Ali Khamenei warned the US and its allies that “starting this fire will be like a spark in a large store of gunpowder, with unclear and unspecified outcomes and consequences”.

The US and its allies have accused the Syrian government of using chemical weapons against its own people near the capital, Damascus, but Syria has vehemently ruled out any involvement in the attack, saying it was a false flag operation by the foreign-backed militants fighting against the Syrian army.
