Iran also warned it would blame Israel if the United States goes after Assad.
"No military attack will be waged against Syria," said Hossein Sheikholeslam, a member of Iran's Islamic Consultative Assembly, according to the Times of Israel. "Yet if such an incident takes place, which is impossible, the Zionist regime will be the first victim of a military attack on Syria."
Israel has not armed or taken active involvement in the rebellion to its north and has limited its actions in Syria to missile strikes against two convoys of purported weapons being driven to its arch-enemy Hezbollah in southern Lebanon.
That may not matter. Israel's largest city, Tel Aviv, and Haifa, its main seaport, were hit by scud missiles from Iraq in retaliation for the 1991 Gulf War launched by President George H.W. Bush. Hezbollah fired rockets at Israel throughout the U.S.-led Iraq War.

Calling a Persian an Arab, or vice versa, is a good way to get an earful, if not a smack upside the head....

they'll get their stooges, Hizbollah, to do it. Iran isn't stupid, they know it would be a very costly conflict for them.
