Assad Vows to Crush Revolt, Jalili Says Iran Won't Allow Syria Fall
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Tehran will continue to back Syria under President Bashar Assad, which acts as a pillar of an Iranian-led regional alliance, top envoy Saeed Jalili told Assad in Damascus on Tuesday.
"Iran will never allow the resistance axis -- of which Syria is an essential pillar -- to break," said Jalili, a top aide to Iranian supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
"What is happening in Syria is not an internal issue but a conflict between the axis of resistance on the one hand, and the regional and global enemies of this axis on the other," he added.
Iran has accused Turkey and Gulf countries of arming the opposition in Syria, in collusion with the United States and Israel, to overthrow the regime of Tehran's key ally, Assad.
Jalili was previously cited by Iran's Al-Alam television station as saying "the crisis in Syria must be solved internally, through national dialogue, and not through the intervention of external forces."
He added: "The Syrian people are hostile to any plan supported by the Zionists and the U.S."
In the same meeting, Assad said he was determined to crush the 17-month rebellion against his regime and cleanse the country of "terrorists," according to state news agency SANA.
"The Syrian people and their government are determined to purge the country of terrorists and to fight terrorism without respite," Assad told Jalili.
Assad said his country "is able to defeat foreign plans targeting the resistance axis and Syria's role in it.

"Assad Vows to Crush Revolt", but he keeps saying that!
It's like Aoun in 1989-90 vowing to liberate Lebanon and we know how the coward fled.

who is talking about democracy? do you even read what is written before commenting? obviously not :)
the syro/iranian axis of evile will be crushed, and that's it.
anyway, the window is closing in on hizbushaitan, as all indications point towards the period of 2 months before the american elections for a major war in the region.

I can see that FT/Mowaten/sabulokov/rudes and the other forgotten ones has a PhD in psychology... You know what people think now? Waouw! I envy you. End if the joke.
You're always welcome on OUR M14 website, despite our differences. Many got kicked from tayyar.org and other M8 medias. That's one big difference. Don't abuse of the privileges Naharnet grants you. We're tolerant people you know unlike your ISLAMIC republic of Iran idols.

FT IS a traitor, and a Syrian regime lover! He wants our dear country to remain the puppet of the puppeteer Bashar! Free... and Independant Lebanon will prevail, and the likes of FT and mowaten can go live in Persia or Syria!

Who is Iran to be dictating, accusing and meddling with Syria (let alone Lebanon). This is yet another clear sign to all that HA is nothing more than pawns for Iran. And these scums (HA) call themselves Lebanese let alone the people of God? They are traitors and not Lebanese. The same way they sacrificed Lebanon in 2006 without permission or through a democratic process, they will do it again without any concern to what will happen to the people. Convicts!

Honestly,i think this is bigger than any lebanese's brain to handle,and as im very open minded and i could see behind the lines of politicians.
DO NOT judge me for what im about to say,but trust that im saying it after lots of thinking
Bashar WILL NOT fall,here is why:17 months into the rebellion and the FSA has still not won a single big battle,in what i always say:insi7ab takakakaktikii,they are a big failure,sheep bought by gulf nations,they will all die in a few months time,why do you think they're desperatly asking for help and a no fly zone? because their end is near,the army is still strong,the people who want assad are also by millions in number,and they showed the world that fact.
