IRNA � Secretary of Supreme National Security Council (SNSC), Ali Shamkhani, said blackmailing with the tool of terrorism is the regular habit of the Zionist regime and the Saudi rulers.


Shamkhani made the remark in a meeting with the Parliament Speaker of the People's Assembly of the Syrian Arab Republic, Ms. Hadiyeh Khalaf Abbas, in Tehran on Wednesday.

He said Zionist regime tries to abuse forged crises in the region ad pave the way for massacre and occupation with more momentum but undoubtedly, the revenge of the brave children of resistance will put an end to child killing and crimes of the regime which is devoid of any identity.

He referred to positive process of diplomatic ties between Syrian government and the opposition and said Astana meeting, focusing on diplomatic initiatives, has prepared an appropriate conditions for continued ceasefire and replacing war and bloodshed with dialogue.

He added that Astana political session was not merely concerned geographical change of diplomatic dialogue, but being product of real changes in regional equations, especially field achievements and liberation of the regions occupied by Zionists.

The Iranian official also referred to wide-scale differences of Turkey and Saudi Arabia, especially assuming leadership of the armed government opposition in Syria, and said while deep clashes and tension is going on among armed dissident groups in Syria, the countries supporting them are at severe odds and each think of instrumental use of the armed groups and less costly exit from Syria and getting their regional rivals engaged in the field.

�Today, the main supporters of Syria are speaking of a visible union to refer to Iran as a threat to global peace and security, while their extensive support for Takfiri terrorism has posed unprecedented crisis to global security.�

While criticizing Saudi regime for negligence of global demand for change of the status quo in support of terrorism, Shamkhani said harsh criticism and concern of officials of many western and west Asian countries for policies of the Saudi government to create and support terrorism has changed into a fixed issue in their dialogue with Iranian officials.

Thanking Iran for its humanitarian and consulting help to Syria to fight terrorism and defend cities and villages posed to threat, the Syrian speaker underlined that the brutal massacre of Syria's oppressed people by the affiliated terrorists should be considered as a cost paid due to support for the Palestinian cause but such pressures will not downgrade Syrian care for the Palestinian case.

�Zionist regime supports Palestinian groups in Syria and provides them with logistic and military support, indicating firm bond between Israel and Takfiri terrorism and their supporters due to destabilizing the region.�
