Iran opposes any political, military intervention in Syria

Iran is against use of any political and military intervention of third countries in Syria, Secretary-General of World Assembly of Islamic Awakening Ali Akbar Velayati, said here on Monday. He told the reporters on the sidelines of the meeting of World Assembly of Islamic Awakening supreme council, IRNA reported.

"The Syrian people should determine the destiny of their country; the ongoing crisis in Syria is a plot imposed against the Syrian nation and government by the occupying force of the US; Iran supports reforms in Syria; UN and Arab League envoy to Syria, Kofi Annan is not satisfied with the break of terms of truce agreement by the armed opposition in Syria."

The official added that Iran and Egypt relations are developing after the fall of dictatorship, there.

Since the beginning of 2011, the Muslim world has witnessed popular uprisings and revolutions similar to what happened in Iran in 1979. Tunisia saw the overthrow of Zine El Abidine Ben Ali in a popular revolution in January, which was soon followed by a revolution which toppled Hosni Mubarak in Egypt in February.

Bahrain, Jordan, Kuwait, Libya, Saudi Arabia and Yemen have since been the scene of protests against their totalitarian rulers, who have resorted to brutal crackdown on demonstrations to silence their critics.

Bahrain however, has experienced the deadliest clashes. Anti-government protesters have been holding peaceful demonstrations across Bahrain since mid-February, calling for an end to the Al Khalifa dynasty's over-40-year rule.

Hundreds of people, including members of the security forces, have been killed, when some protest rallies turned into armed clashes.
