‘Attack on Syria, death knell for Israel’

“The US, NATO, and the Zionist regime are trying to start a bloody war in Syria. If that happens, the ashes of war will also cover the occupied territories,” Nasser Soudani, who is the deputy chairman of the Majlis (Parliament) Energy Committee, said in Tehran on Saturday.

In the event of an attack on Syria, the Israeli regime will receive a crushing response from regional nations, he added.

“If a war breaks out in Syria, it will definitely lead to the end of the Zionist regime, as the regime will not only have to face the Syrian people but… the people of Gaza and southern Lebanon, supported by Hezbollah, will also stand up to the Zionist regime and will turn the Syria battlefield into the place of the Zionist regime’s destruction,” Soudani stated.

The New York Times reported on Wednesday that US and Israeli defense officials have held talks to discuss contingency plans for the collapse of the Syrian government, paying particular attention to the chemical weapons that “Syria is thought to possess.”

The talks focused on whether Israel might move to “destroy Syrian weapons facilities,” two US administration officials said.

Syria has been experiencing unrest ever since March 2011, with demonstrations being held both against and in support of President Bashar al-Assad’s government.

The Syrian government says outlaws, saboteurs, and armed terrorists are the driving factor behind the unrest and deadly violence while the opposition accuses the security forces of being behind the killings.

Damascus also says that the chaos is being orchestrated from outside the country and the security forces have been given clear instructions not to harm civilians.
