Iran’s Foreign Ministry has stressed the importance of uprooting terrorism in line with international principles, saying the US airstrikes in Syria violate the country’s national sovereignty.


“The US move to attack Syria, which has been carried out outside recognized international mechanisms, are regarded as a violation of the country’s national sovereignty and regulations as well as principles of international law which will undoubtedly have many negative consequences on the international scene,” Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Marzieh Afkham said on Tuesday.


She added that the US-led airstrikes in Syria were in line with previous interventionist policies in the region which have already complicated the regional situation.


The Iranian official warned against the repetition of previous mistakes by the US and certain countries in pursuing double standards on terrorism and arming well-known terrorist groups in the region.


“The responsibility for the consequences of the new US move, including the killing and injuring of innocent civilians, rests with those who have paved the way for the flow of arms and terrorism into Syria and other regional countries,” the spokesperson pointed out.
She added that these sides are responsible for fanning the flames of conflict in the region through the provision of financial and military aid to extremist groups.


Afkham’s remarks came after Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said on Tuesday that the US-led airstrikes in Syria are illegal because they are not approved by or coordinated with the Syrian government.


“Bombardment by one or several countries or even one coalition is meaningless without legal basis and can be considered as [an act of] aggression,” Rouhani said in a meeting with a number of news editors in New York, where he is to attend the UN General Assembly annual session.


According to reports, since a few days ago the United States and its allies have carried out at least 200 airstrikes against the ISIL militants operating inside Syria. Some 12 civilians have so far been killed in the attacks.


The strikes were carried out without the approval of the United Nations. The Syrian government says the US had informed it of the strikes in advance.


This is while the US and its allies, including those in the Persian Gulf region, stand accused of helping the rise of ISIL in the region through the provision of arms and financial aid to the Takfiris wreaking havoc in Syria and Iraq.

Syria (Assad) lost control of all territory that was subject to attack by the coalition led by the US and joined by at least 4 Sunni Arab states.

Not only do these attacks violate Syrian sovereignty in the most egregious manner, they also blatantly violate the US Constitution. Obama is now responsible for two blatantly illegal wars in Libya and Syria. I'm glad he's a young president, because that means he can be prosecuted for war crimes in the future.

Funny you should say that. I am about to start a thread on that topic.

About Syria and its sovereignty. That only exists where the sovereign has control. That is a small bit of the country along the north western coast.

What's the precedence on U.S. President's charged or prosecuted by any domestic or international body for war crimes ... besides Bush ?

Of course we just violated Syrian sovereignty. And of course this violates 'international' laws. Now...who exactly should be concerned about that? Forum participants arguing about it? The US Congress or American people who about 35% can even find Syria on a map....even after having google maps shoved up the wazoo? Obama? This 'International' law maker group who couldn't manage a bowel movement after a night of heavy drinking much less international terrorism?

I.....should I be an 'extremist'.....might be concerned. Syria, Yemen, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Indonesia, Sudan, Iraq.....even Iran....it really doesn't matter does it? The Unite States wil come hunt you down, doesn't matter how long it takes, they'll violate airspace, they'll bomb the living shit out of you, they're gunslingers. Cowboys. Shoot first and ask questions later....maybe we go jihad on someone else..these Cats are a tad bent.

Didn't Israel just shoot down one of Syria's fighter jets the other day for violating Israel's airspace?

I mean seriously, fuck Syria. These guys have been bad faith citizens in the region since day one, we have little obligation IMO to respect their sovereignty.

100% correct. We cannot make the decision on what we say he controls or not, it's about ownership not control. Syria owns the land.
