Iranian Security Council spokesman denies Tehran's involvement in recent strikes on US bases in Syria
Iranian Supreme National Security Council (SNSC) spokesman Keyvan Khosravi said that despite accusations from Washington, Tehran was not involved in the recent air attacks on US bases in Syria.
Earlier, on March 24, U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin confirmed that, at the behest of President Joe Biden, he had ordered "targeted airstrikes in Eastern Syria" against facilities allegedly used by Iranian-linked groups.
Commenting on what is happening, Khosravi pointed to Washington's intentions to evade responsibility for the illegal occupation of part of Syrian territory by accusing Tehran and other states.
The United States has no right to blame other countries for a completely legitimate confrontation with the American army, which occupied foreign territories, creating an artificial crisis there.
- quotes the publication of the words of the representative of SNSC.
In addition, Khosravi said that Iran has spent a lot of effort and money on the real fight against terrorism and ensuring sustainable security in Syria, adding that Tehran opposes any action that threatens the stability in this country.
The representative of the Iranian Security Council noted that the United States played a certain role in the creation and support of ISIS (a terrorist organization banned in the Russian Federation *), which was then used as a proxy tool to achieve its own political goals in Syria and Iraq. Similar words were expressed, as VO already reported, in the Iranian Foreign Ministry.
Moreover, according to Khosravi, the Americans continue to work closely with the terrorists, for which they must be held accountable.
Over the past two days, American helicopters have made several flights to increase instability in Syria by transferring ISIS terrorists * to the territory of this country
- emphasized the representative of SNSC.
At the same time, he finally warned about the immediate response of the Iranian Armed Forces to any attack by the US occupying forces on the bases that were created at the request of the Damascus government to fight terrorist groups.
