Iran 'Congratulates Syrian Army, People' on Qusayr Victory
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Iran congratulated the Syrian army and people on Wednesday for their victory over rebels after seizing the strategic town of Qusayr, Deputy Foreign Minister Hossein Amir Abdollahian said.
Tehran "congratulates the victory of the Syrian army and people over the 'takfiri' terrorists," Abdollahian said, using a term for Sunni militants who comprise the majority of the country's rebels.
Iran is a predominantly Shiite Muslim country, and a close ally of Assad, who belongs to the Alawite sect, an offshoot of Shiite Islam.
"Certain parties continue to send arms and support terrorist actions in Syria," Abdollahian added, saying they "are responsible for massacres and destruction in Syria and should be tried for war crimes."
That was an allusion to some Arab and Western countries, and Turkey, who back the anti-Assad movement.
Earlier on Wednesday, the army and allied fighters from Hizbullah seized control of Qusayr after an 18-day battle.

Not so soon, Iran. So far we've seen amateurs fighting the "ASSad" regime, and they've held their grounds VERY WELL. Now the real warriors shall come into play to teach "ASSad" and his "Hizbushaitan" and behind them Iran, aka Wilayat al-Faqih nonsense, their long-deserved lesson. Allow me to name a few of these world-class warriors by their noms de guerre: NostraGabbyMarch14, NostraAllouchti, NostraGeha, NostraBenzona, NostraPeace, NostraThePatriot, NostraBenzona and last but not least the new inductee and wonder Nostra, NostraHarrier himself. These warriors taught the Syrian occupiers the lesson they still have not forgotten by tagging along the hemline of Rafic Syria's skirt for over 15 VERY SHORT YEARS or trampolining into the arms of the occupiers like Dr. Arreet 7akeh while scheming against ebn baladon. Watch out, "ASSad" and "Hizbushaitan" and Iran. The warriors are coming.

I cannot believe my eyes when I read the comment of Roaring-FlameThrower! Guys, we have a fresh inductee into the NostraDamsels club and hall of shame, NostraRoaringFlameThrower. These Nostras not only predict the future... well... umm... duh wrongly, and not only predict the PAST... well... umm... duh... wrongly (such as when the daddy of all Nostras, NostraDrArreet7akeh himself, predicted that "Hizbushaitan" did not win any war against Israel as confirmed most recently in the Winograd report), but they also predict who is who... well... umm... duh... wrongly AGAIN! These Nostras outdo each other, don't they? You go, Nostras. Your future is as rosy as your past!

Bravo Iran, Syrian shabbi7a, Russia, and Hezb. It took you 3 weeks to take a small town of 40,000 people that is totally surrounded. How long would it take you to take Homs?

I wonder how long it would take Hezbollah to liberate the Shebaa Farms.

At least NostraRoaringFlameThrower is humble when he correctly admits that he's an idiot!
