Iran regime threatens Jordan and Turkey with terrorism
2013-04-10
A senior Iranian regime official has threatened the countries in region particularly Lebanon , Jordan and Turkey with terrorism and export of fundamentalism as the overthrow of its main ally in the region, the Syrian regime of Bashar al-Assad is looming.

Hossein Sheikh al-Islam, Iranian regime's deputy foreign minister, told Iranian state-run TV that "we are not going to sit back with our hands tied ... We are a highly capable country.

Hossein Sheikh al-Islam said: "I can tell you definitely that they can not do a damn thing in Lebanon. Our friends are there. And they can not do a damn thing in Iraq.

"Although some neighboring states do some evil activities ... This is a very dangerous game for Turkey, because Turkey has a minority population of 20 million Alawits and 18 million Kurds.

"If trouble begins, then it will certainly affect Jordan. And we are not going to sit back with our hands tied and do what we are told. We are a highly capable country."

The mullahs ruling Iran have repeatedly acknowledged the strategic role of Bashar al-Assad in Syria and Nouri al-Maliki in Iraq are playing in the survival of their regime.
