UNSC urged to act on attacks on Syria

On Thursday, the head of Iran’s Majlis (parliament) National Security and Foreign Policy Committee, Alaeddin Boroujerdi called the indiscriminate killing of civilians “reprehensible,” saying that those countries, which were hell-bent on toppling the government of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, must now be accountable to the public opinion about the bloodshed of the attacks’ innocent victims.

The UNSC is expected to show rapid reaction to developments in Syria and convene an emergency meeting in a bid to stop such acts of terror in the Arab nation, Boroujerdi pointed out.

According to Syrian officials, at least 55 people were killed and nearly 400 others wounded in the Syrian capital after two powerful explosions occurred near a military intelligence building in the city during the morning rush hour on Thursday.

Meanwhile, Hossein Sheikholeslam, adviser on international affairs to Iran’s Majlis Speaker Ali Larijani, said that the terrorist attacks revealed the depth of the despair of the armed groups fighting the Syrian government.

He stressed that the implementation of political and social reforms in Syria will eventually thwart plots hatched by hegemonic powers against the country.

Sheikholeslam also highlighted that anti-government elements were racing against time to plunge Syria into an all-out civil war and unseat a government that is on the anti-Israel resistance front.

He added that arrogant powers sought to break up the anti-Israel resistance front in the Middle East and install a puppet and pro-Israel regime in Damascus.

Syria has been experiencing unrest since mid-March 2011.

Hundreds of people, including many members of the Syrian security forces, have been killed during the violence.

The Syrian government says outlaws, saboteurs, and armed terrorists are the driving factor behind the turmoil 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 that the security forces have been given clear instructions not to harm civilians.
