After talks in Russia on Monday, Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister Hossein Amir Abdollahian (pictured) issued a dramatic warning to the US and other countries about support for Syria’s insurgents.
Abdollahian declared, “Continuation of this trend can result in incidents bigger than the September 11 attacks in any of the regional or world countries.”

The Deputy Foreign Minister said “supporters and financers of the terrorists and Takfiris in Syria” should not forget Al Qa’eda grew up in Afghanistan, but 9/11 incident happened thousands of miles away in New York.

“Any attempt to reinforce extremism and terrorism will harm regional security and stability,” Abdollahian said.

No details were released of the talks between Abdollahian and his Russian counterpart. Tehran and Moscow, the two main allies of the Syrian regime, have provided essential economic, political, and military support for President Assad since the uprising began in March 2011.
