BEIRUT:�Progressive Socialist Party�leader�Walid Jumblatt�accused the�U.S.�of using the Syrian war to exhaust�Iran�financially, militarily and politically on the Voice of�Russia�radio station Wednesday.
He made the comments while in Russia to meet Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov. Jumblatt predicted�Syria�has a long and turbulent path ahead, expressing his regret that �several influential countries are contributing to enrage the war in Syria.�

�The Iranian nuclear file will stay at the center of American interests [in the region] and in Syria the Americans are managing the war to exhaust Iran,� he said.

�Syria must not be turned into a corpse in the Iranian-American confrontation because Syria is a central ring in the�Middle East�and it must be kept unified.�
