TEHRAN (FNA)- A senior Iranian legislator dismissed the western and Zionist media allegations that Tehran and Moscow have devised a plan to overthrow Syrian President Bashar al-Assad peacefully.


"The claims raised by certain western media about the existence of a Tehran-Moscow plan for changing Syria's political future is a sheer lie," Chairman of the Parliament's National Security and Foreign Policy Commission Alaeddin Boroujerdi said on Monday.

"The allegations raised by the Zionist regime's media are merely ballyhoos and sheer lies," he added.

Boroujerdi also reiterated that the Iranian parliamentary delegation's recent visit to Lebanon and Syria was not aimed at presenting a plan for Syria's political future as claimed by the western media.

Last week, an Iranian parliamentary delegation left Tehran for Beirut and Damascus to convey important messages to the Lebanese and Syrian officials from the Iranian parliament.

The members of the delegation met with high-ranking Lebanese and Syrian officials and the officials of the Lebanese Hezbollah Resistance movement.

Rapporteur of the parliament's National Security and Foreign Policy Commission Seyed Hossein Naqavi Hosseini told FNA that the delegation conveyed three important messages from the Iranian parliament to the Lebanese and Syrian officials which include Iran's all-out support for the resistance front against Israeli aggression, voicing the Iranian government and people's opposition to any foreign military intervention in Syria and expressing the Iranian nation and government's disgust at the use of chemical weapons in Syria, which, he said, are unfortunately supplied to the rebel groups by the western governments.
