Terrorist acts will fail to bring Syrian government down: Iranian senior MP

TEHRAN, May 14 (MNA) - A top lawmaker said the Syrian government, enjoying the support of its nation, will never collapse by bomb explosions. Gholam Ali Haddad-Adel pointied to the recent bomb blasts in Syria, in which scores of people were killed and wounded. Such blasts, he said, are orchestrated by the U.S., the Zionist regime and their regional allies in order to take avenge of the government of Beshar al-Assad which has stood against their ill wishes in the region. Haddad-Adel, a senior advisor to the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, said Syria would never witness such blasts should it give in to the policies of the U.S. and Israel, as some heads of states in the region do. According to the most recent reports, more than 55 people have been killed and 372 others wounded in the blasts which hit Damascus on Thursday. They were the most deadly explosions since the insurgency began against the government nearly one and half years ago. Following the incidents, the Syrian Foreign Ministry sent a letter to UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon saying such increasing criminal acts indicate that Syria is targeted by terrorists, who are sponsored by foreigners with finances and ammunition. The letter added that despite the terrorist acts, Syrians will keep fighting terrorism and defending their sovereignty until peace and stability return to the country. Iranian Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi sent a letter to his Syrian counterpart Wallid Muallem, condemning the recent terrorist acts in Syria. Condoling the Syrian government and nation on the recent massacre, Salehi cautioned that targeting innocent people with ruthless terrorist acts clearly show that the enemies are against the materialization of the goals of the revolutionary and resistant people of Syria.
