Iran Says Attacks on 'Terrorists' in Syria's Ghouta Will Carry On

W460

Iran's army chief-of-staff said Sunday the U.N. Security Council resolution demanding a ceasefire in Syria does not cover "terrorist groups" in Eastern Ghouta and they would continue to be targeted by the Syrian military.

"We respect this resolution which is an international decision... and the Syrian government respects it as well," said Mohammad Bagheri, according to the official IRNA news agency.

"But the zones on the periphery of Damascus which are in the hands of al-Nusra and other terrorist groups are not covered by the ceasefire and the offensives and clearing operations by the Syrian army will continue."

The Security Council on Saturday adopted a resolution calling for a 30-day ceasefire in Syria "without delay," to allow for aid deliveries and medical evacuations.

But heavy clashes broke out in southern areas of the opposition enclave of Eastern Ghouta on Sunday, a monitor said.

"The Western camp and terrorist supporters insisted on establishing a ceasefire but... Russia and Iran sought to limit this resolution so that terrorist groups like al-Nusra are exempted and the war can continue against them," said Bagheri.

"Syrian territory must be cleared of terrorist groups over the coming months so that Syrians can live peacefully," he said.

but Iran always maintained it has no military presence in Syria?

Well done, kill all those Saudi.Salafi scums out there.

Funny to see Salafi vermin scream for help.

Cowards nothing more than that, you deserve death.

Instead of screaming for a ceasefire, just surrender your weapons and let the civilians live their normal lives without Salafi Caliphate.

أزغدي: 6 دول أصبحت تحت سيطرتنا… وآن الأوان لإعلان إمبراطورية فارس في المنطقة

إعتبر عضو المجلس الأعلى للثورة الثقافية رحيم بور أزغدي، الثلثاء، أن إيران تقوم بالتدخلات في البلدان الصديقة لأميركا في المنطقة، لتسقط الأنظمة الحاكمة في تلك البلدان، وتصبح تحت سيطرة المرشد”، موضحا أن “6 بلدان (لم يسمها) تحت سيطرة نظام المرشد الأعلى علي خامنئي بعدما خرجت من تحت سيطرة واشنطن”.

ودعا المسؤول الإيراني لإعلان إمبراطورية فارس، بالقول: “آن الأوان لإعلان الإمبراطورية الفارسية في المنطقة”، لافتا إلى أنه “لو يعتبر ذلك توسعا وتفكيرا بإقامة إمبراطورية واسعة فلا نقاش على الاسم، لأننا نريد أن نقيم إمبراطورية”.
