Larijani: US plan against Syria premeditated

Calling US stand on Syria “cunning”, Iranian Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani said on Thursday that it has been months that the Americans have been preparing themselves to act against Syria.

According to IRNA, Larijani made the comment in a meeting with the press emphasizing, ˈA military attack against Syria is not an issue for which America has planned in the course of the past couple of days.ˈ
He reiterated, “The UN Special Envoy on Syria Lakhdar Brahimi, too, has confirmed that the Americans have been preparing their forces ever since four months ago for acting against Syria, but the Europeans were opposed to the move.”
The Parliament Speaker referred to the trouble-making of the western countries, particularly the United Sates in case of the Iranian nuclear file, saying, “By this move (invading Syria) the US intends to create obstacles in the way of Iran’s influence in the region and the world.”
Larijani said that the Iranian nation and the Islamic Republic system are resistant to confront the westernersˈ totalitarianism, adding, “The Iranian nation has always emphasized on materializing its absolute rights.”
He said assuming that the nuclear issue could be resolved through negotiations with the US is a very remote possibility and hard to imagine, adding, “The basis for negotiations must be respecting the Iranian nation’s rights, which the Americans do not intend to observe, and I do not think we will gain any result out of negotiations, either.”
