“In such a scenario, Iran will do whatever it takes to keep Assad in power….Iran will send troops to keep him in power.…U.S. military bases wherever in the region [seen] as a legitimate target.“–Sadeq Zibakalam, Tehran University
In an interview with Chinese news media Iranian political sciences professor, Sadeq Zibakalam, said Iran would have no choice but to go on the offensive if the United States attacked Syria.
Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has already warned that an attack on Syria would result in a “catastrophe” for the region.
Zibakalam said Iran will attack any U.S. base in the Middle East. A United Kingdom news source said today that it had info that Iran is mobilizing 4-thousand troops for deployment into Syria!
On 28 August 2013, Iranian Brigadier General Masoud Jazayeri said Israel will also be targeted: “Fire of Syria war will burn Zionist regime.”
