Iran: Israel showed it masterminds Syria war



Press TV- Iran says the Israeli prime minister clearly showed in his recent remarks opposing Iranian counterterror contribution toSyriathat Tel Aviv is behind the ongoing war in the Arab country.

Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani made the remarks on Sunday, concerning a Friday conversation between Israeli premier Benjamin Netanyahu and Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow.

Netanyahu reportedly expressed Israels strong opposition to the presence of Iranian forces north of Israel in the context of the talks on a settlement of any kind.

Iran has been lending advisory support to the Syrian military in its battle against foreign-backed militancy, while avoidingany direct military involvement in the conflict.

Netanyahu laid the conditions for peace in Syria, Larijani told the parliament session in Tehran. He clearly stated that the Zionist regimeis behind the war in Syria.

If some regional leaders were so far in a doubt that the war in Syria is not in line with the interests of Muslims, the least of which Sunni Muslims, they should have been disillusioned with these remarks bythe head of the Zionist regime, he added.

The main reason behind the adventures in the region is to defeat resistance and its supporters to pave the way for the Zionist regimes complete dominance here, Larijani further said.

Netanyahu was also cited as telling Putin the fact that the Golan Heights is not part of the discussion on any outline of the peace agreement.

Israel has been occupying Golan since 1967. Since the start of the foreign-backed militancy in Syria, it has been providing medical treatment to injured Takfiri terrorists arriving at the territory, claiming it would do so for all those in the areas under its control.

Tel Aviv wants Syrian President Bashar al-Assad ousted. It has been carrying out air raids against Syria-based targets from the Lebanese airspace on many occasions.

Late last month, Israels Channel 2 said the regime had sent its troops on repeated spying missions into a village located half a kilometer inside Syrias territory. The Israeli military has also deployed intelligence-gathering equipment in the Golan Heights to record movements by the Syrian military and foreign-backed militants.

Bibi's ignorance ofhistory

Meeting with Putin, the Israeli premier also claimed ancient Persia had made a failed attempt to destroy the Jewish people some 2,500 years ago, a legend commemorated through the Jewish holiday of Purim, which Israel started celebrating Saturday night.

While scholars do not agree on the accuracy of the Purim story, Netanyahu has constantly referred to the legend as a basis of his anti-Iran arguments in his meetings with different world leaders.

Larijani said making the comments, Netanyahu had both misreported Irans pre-Islam history and inverted facts.

Apparently, he is neither acquainted with history, nor has read Torah, the said Iranian top parliamentarian.

According to Jewish accounts,Persian King Ahasverous discovered hisviceroys conspiracy to slaughter Jews some 2,500 years ago and had him executed.

Nevertheless, Netanyahu has been selective in his recountof history, ignoringthe Hebrew Bible that has repeatedly praised Persian King Cyrus the Great as the patron and deliverer of the Jews, who put an end to their Babylonian captivity.
