Tehran, YJC. Iran’s Foreign Minister has blasted attempts to start a war in Syria.
The
Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Republic of Iran criticizing prevalent
regional situations and the possibility of a war on Syria said "The world
cannot allow one or a few countries to play the roles of the attorney, judge,
and the verdicts’ executive agent all together, acting according not to
reality, but to their own interests.”
Speaking
in an interview with Mehr, Mohammadjavad Zarif pointed to phone calls to his
counterparts on the likely war on Syria, adding "It seems that some would like
to make war. They cannot be told, though, to be one group, because there are a
number of groups each with different motivations.”
"There’s
a group whose interests have always laid in war and disagreement. Another group,
despite their support in the past two years for radical groups and the Takfiri
have not reached their goals by military means. They would like to take others
in and expand the war, whereas they are not aware of the fact that war will
strike the whole region and it will be to their own detriment,” Zarif asserted.
He added
"But it seems that the public opinion is not prepared for war even in the West.
In talks I had with foreign ministers nearly all of them had the common idea
that something must be done to prevent the Syrian conflict from growing more
intense. It is to regret that some had opinions about the necessity to answer
what they claimed to be the use of chemical weapons by the Syrian government. But
we suggested that first the reality must be clearly understood and all evidence
be seen.”
Zarif
also said in answer to a question regarding Iran’s reaction in case war strikes
Syria "I do not talk about reactions. Our whole attempts are to prevent war
because once there is war in the region, situations will turn very dangerous
for all. We hope that wisdom will rule and prevent a regional war.”
