West’s Adventurism in Syria Would Lead to Regional War
A number of Hezbollah officials have warned that any US adventurism against Syria would lead to a regional war.
Speaking to Lebanon’s Al-Ray daily, the officials, who were not identified, said the possible decision by the US and Britain to attack Syria will naturally be considered as an act of support for the terrorist groups the Al-Nusra Front and the Islamic Government group, both of which are affiliated to Al-Qaeda.
They said terrorist groups form the backbone of the rebels fighting against the Syrian government.
The Hezbollah officials also reiterated that Lebanon’s Hezbollah and Iran will not allow the continued presence and activities of these groups in Syria and Lebanon.
The US has threatened to attack Syria accusing Damascus of using chemical weapons against people, an accusation the Syrian government vehemently denies.
On August 21, the militants operating inside Syria and the foreign-backed Syrian opposition claimed that hundreds had been killed in a government chemical attack on militant strongholds in the Damascus suburbs of Ain Tarma, Zamalka and Jobar. However, the Syrian government categorically rejected the baseless claims, and announced later that the chemical attack had actually been carried out by the militants themselves as a false flag operation.
