Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast has condemned the Israeli military aggression against Syria, urging regional countries to stand up against Tel Aviv.
Mehmanparast on Sunday slammed the Israeli aggression and Tel Aviv’s attempts to create insecurity and instability in the region.
Calling for unity and solidarity among regional countries and their convergence against Israeli threats, Mehmanparast described as calculated Tel Aviv’s attacks against Damascus and the desecration of a revered site belonging to a Shia Muslim figure, Hujr ibn Adi, by the terrorists in Syria.
“The Zionist regime and its allies seek to create ethnic and religious discord among Muslim countries,” Mehmanparast said.
The Syrian state television reported on Sunday that Israel has attacked the Jamraya research center, located northwest of the capital, Damascus. The center had been targeted by another Israeli airstrike back in January.
The Sunday attack came shortly after Tel Aviv confirmed that its warplanes had hit another target in Syria on Friday.
Tel Aviv has made no confirmation on the latest Israeli strike. “We don’t respond to this kind of report,” an Israeli military spokeswoman said.
On Saturday, US President Barack Obama said the Israeli regime had the right to launch airstrikes on Syria.
The turmoil in Syria began over two years ago, and many people, including large numbers of Syrian soldiers and security personnel, have been killed. The Syrian government says that the chaos is being orchestrated from outside the country.
Syria’s President Bashar al-Assad said in April that the situation in the country was improving as the army enjoys popular support in the fight against terrorism.

Was this a test of the latest version of the U.S. Bunker-Buster?
Assuming that it was an “attack,” the interesting question is whether Israel or the U.S. conducted the attack.
The descriptions of the blast are clearly much more than a missile “shipment;” versus a major munitions depot. Hopefully, it didn’t cause major loss of life.
This second attack, in particular, if confirmed to be an “attack” by Israel or the USA, could be a major event in history – the re-introduction of “pre- emptive warfare” – long banned by International Law. Worse, it constitutes “third party” pre-emptive warfare. Supposedly, Hezbollah is the immediate ‘enemy.’
While there is a somewhat unique public psychological ‘acceptability’ to certain war fighting events; they can easily evolve into “new” global precedents for the general conduct of warfare – without restriction.
The obvious indicator of Israel’s history of “unique” attack(s) is their being evidence of a global public psychological conditioning for the expected attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities. The current question being whether or not the U.S. will act as the proxy force.
In concert, the world should wonder whether or not there is a new ‘globalist’ warfare mindset; “As-needed Warfare,” via selective surgical military destruction of particular facilities.
In the traditional perspective of war, the effect of re-kindling “pre-emptive warfare” risks creating a license for Iran to launch its own pre-emptive attack on Israel, et al. If that came to pass, the door is also opened to countries such as Syria to join in the fray with a desperate survival mandate – including the use of WMDs.
Right now, Syria can rationally claim that the ‘world’ is obviously intent upon destroying the legitimate government – and prosecuting (killing) its leaders, via selective International Law, anyway. What do they have left to lose?
With the regional political fetish for the destruction of Israel; Israel could face a terrible collective of chaotic and barbaric attacks from all sides.
One certainty before the world is that whoever is holding the political crystal ball isn’t talking. In all likelihood, the crystal ball is seriously clouded by the “fog” of both politics and war.
If Israel keeps this shit up, it's about to get bombed back to the biblical era by its neighbors, perhaps with the help of Russia.
"The real deal is this: the ‘royalty’ controlling the court, the ones with the power, the ones with the ability to make a difference, with the ability to change our course, the ones who will live in infamy if we pass the tipping points, are the captains of industry, CEOs in fossil fuel companies such as EXXON/Mobil, automobile manufacturers, utilities, all of the leaders who have placed short-term profit above the fate of the planet and the well-being of our children." - James Hansen
Won't be Russia because Zionists most likely made a deal with Putin to have Russia's Gazprom develop and market Israeli gas and not have it compete with Russian supplies, thus assuring Russia a steady sources of income. Will be interesting to see what deal Netanyahoo offers the Chinese to get them on side with the criminal Israeli state. Maybe assurance that US will butt out of China's islands dispute.
If intel is accurate the Ruskies have finished what they started when Nikita attempted to place missiles in Cuba. They have reportedly installed their P-270 Moskit (NATO designation-S-N-22 SUNBURN) in Iran and trained crews in its user friendly launch procedures.
Chinese patrol boats are also fitted out with this ass kicking, balance of power- tilting weapon.
The missile can evade rapid fire response artillery like the Phalanx CIWS (close-in weapon system) and fly so fast that response decisions would have to be rapidly made then telepathically transmitted to have a prayer of negating the missile's predicted ability to destroy a flat top if fitted with a nuke payload. Can you imagine some schmucky Persian or monkey faced Chinese scuttling an American carrier with 5,000 American boys and girls on board with a single trigger tickle?
This concerns me because Chinese gunboat crews are demonstrating arrogance and swagger as they thumb their noses at Americans in the Persian gulf. And China will buy all the oil Iran wishes to sell so we can't include them in any boycott of trade against the Mad Mullahs.
No one can state with any certainty that Russia wouldn't get involved if we're foolish enough to allow Israel to attack (or even execute or assist so none of The Chosen lives are lost-each Israeli is worth a million of the urban black or hillbilly white lives we field in The Military Job Corps these days) a puppet state like Iran.

The Italians attacked Ethiopia when Hileah Selasseh (sp?) was Emperor. The Italians used poison gas, which was outlawed by the Versailles Treaty. As you recall, the Italians hung Mussolini by his heels. ;)

the re-introduction of “pre- emptive warfare” – long banned by International Law.
When Germany invaded France during WW II, they bypassed the Maginot Line. THAT was pre-empive warfare. But, it was also Hitler's ambition to get back at the French for the loss of WW I. ;)
