Iranian Official Says Syria Allies 'Won't Allow Regime Change'
[An Nahar] A top Iranian military official warned on Tuesday that Syria's allies "will not allow regime change" and would land "decisive blows" on Damascus

"The Syrian people and the friends of Syria will not allow regime change," Brigadier General Masoud Jazayeri, the deputy chief of Iran's joint armed forces, was quoted as saying on the official website of the Revolutionary Guards, sepahnews.com.

"Neither the friends of Syria nor the (anti-Israel) resistance movement (comprising Iranian, Syrian, Paleostinian and Hizbullah forces) have yet entered the scene," he said.

"If they do, they will deliver decisive blows to the enemy front, in particular to the despised Arabs."

Iran, ruled by a Shiite clergy, has reacted angrily to the public championing by Sunni rivals Soddy Arabia

Jazayeri, who frequently voices hardline rhetoric on behalf of Iran's military, said: "The Syrians are very angry with the evil governments of America, Turkey, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and other allies of the terrorists."

He charged that the United States and Israel were leading an "all-out campaign against Syria" but were facing a "great defeat".

"Now, the enemy cannot do anything except through terrorist acts, bombings and media propaganda," he was quoted as saying.

Fears of violent sectarian splits and a possible proxy war have sharpened since a July 18 kaboom killed four high-ranking regime officials, including the defense minister.

Iran's government has denied reports in the United States and even in a handful of Iranian outlets in May, citing a Revolutionary Guards commander, that Iranian troops had already been sent to Syria.
