US military intervention in Syria can lead to WWIII -Analyst
5 October Iran News
A Middle Eastern affairs analyst said the main objective of the
United States in leading a possible military action against Syria is
weakening the resistance front in the region.
The military operation was supposed to start, but Syria's threat to
hit the Israeli nuclear power plant in case of coming under attack made
the Americans put their plan on hold, Hassan Hanizadeh told Tasnim on
Saturday.
He said, “If Syria goes through with its threat, 16 million people in
the region will suffer as a result.”
Hanzadeh said that the Americans do not intend to topple the
government of President Bashar al-Assad, but intend to weaken the Syrian
Air Force and then strengthen the terrorists in that country, so that
they can have an effective presence in the upcoming Geneva II talks.
The Middle East affairs analyst referred to the recent comments by
the US Secretary of State John Kerry, and said, “After doing away with
the Syrian threat, the Americans will concentrate on getting rid of the
Islamic resistance, particularly the Islamic Republic of Iran, because
Iran plays a significant role in the region and among the Islamic
countries.”
US Secretary of State John Kerry said if the US failed to punish
Syria for what it called gassing of its citizens, Iran, Hezbollah and
North Korea would feel emboldened.
Hanizadeh emphasised that in case of any type of military
intervention in Syria, the anti-Israel resistance front would not stand
idly by and the US and its allies would pay dearly for their reckless
move.
President Barack Obama said he has not made a decision on military
strikes on Syria, even as US forces continued a buildup in the Middle
East on Friday and the White House took the rare step of releasing a
detailed US intelligence assessment.
Early Saturday, United Nations experts investigating the alleged
chemical attack left Syria and headed for the Beirut Airport.The team
had wrapped up on-site inspections Friday and carried with them blood
and urine samples from victims, as well as soil samples, for testing.
