A member of the Syrian Ba'ath national council Halef al-Muftah, until recently the Syrian propaganda minister's aide, said on Monday that Damascus views Israel as "behind the aggression and therefore it will come under fire" should Syria be attacked by the United States.

In an interview for the American radio station Sawa in Arabic, President Bashar Assad's fellow party member said: "We have strategic weapons and we can retaliate. Essentially, the strategic weapons are aimed at Israel."

Al-Muftah stressed that the US's threats will not influence the Syrain regime and added that "If the US or Israel err through aggression and exploit the chemical issue, the region will go up in endless flames, affecting not only the area's security, but the world's."

Earlier this week the Syrian top official said that an attack of this kind will expand the circle of hostilities beyond Syria. According to him, it may bring about a world-war, the extent of which cannot be foretold.

8. Jerusalem Post

Also on Monday, a senior Iranian parliamentarian said Israel would be the first victim of such a war.

“No military attack will be waged against Syria,” said Hossein Sheikholeslam, the Iranian parliament’s director-general for international affairs, according to the report. “Yet, if such an incident takes place, which is impossible, the Zionist regime will be the first victim of a military attack on Syria.”

13. Ha ha too funny ,

http://news.yahoo.com/military-strike-syria-could-trigger-terrorist-attacks-against-080042687.html

Some officials in Tehran however said that if a strike occurs, Israel would be targeted in response.

15. ah White people find things Black people loot Yahoo

but please o keep going with this

[King_David]

16. Ha ha ... Any source acceptable ,

Dude... If the dude said it he said it

Got it ?

[azurnoir]

17. Got what?

no what I get is that a bunch of rather rightist sources have picked up on this and are running with it, but why exactly, what is this justification for?

It should be kept in mind too that Israel has unilaterally bombed Syria more than once in the past few months without any retaliation from Assad but now we're supposed to believe that Syria will attack Israel if another country attacks it?

[King_David]

19. Irrelevant bud

If the dude said it he said it ... And that's the rub... Ha ha ha

[azurnoir]

20. but you keep saying if and that's what's I find humorous

so insistent about an 'if' must be very important to you or is it something else?

[rdharma]

9. Yes, I know. I'm very familiar with Y Net and their agenda. nt

14. Promise?

Israel has already recently attacked Syria on numerous occasions with absolutely no demonstrable reply (probably for a variety of reasons that have real or imagined validity), such a thing would be a refreshing change.

[shira]

18. Syria won't do shit to Israel....

If they try, that'll be Game Over for Assad and Hezbollah.

Israel will hit back MUCH harder than back in 2006.

Lesson learned.
