Iran FM says Syria strike ‘illegal’ under UN charter

Share:

Javad Zarif iran fmA potential US-led military strike against Syria would be “illegal” based on the United Nations charter, Iran’s Foreign Minister Mohammad Javed Zarif said in Baghdad on Sunday.

“Civilised countries, 65 years ago, took the options off the table when they rejected in the charter of the United Nations resort to force as an illegal practice,” Mr Zarif said, speaking in English in a joint press conference with his Iraqi counterpart Hoshyar Zebari.

“Why (do) they (countries supporting a strike) call themselves civilised nations and continue to insist on all options being on the table?” he continued.

“All options have been removed from the table long, long, long time ago.”

  1. Bomb Iran to make it legal because Iran is the patron of this despotic dictator Assad.

    1. Better nuke all of the Iranian nuclear sites because we can.

      Just try it u freaking war monger,i may not like the government in iran but any ass wipe that thinks they can touch my country can go to hell.

      1. Your country’s backbone was broken when the Arabs defeated the Al-Majoos regime of Iran. Since then your country has been setting up stooges in the Arab world from the backdoor like a wimp in order to subdue them but outwardly they come as if they are here to liberate the Arabs from Israel. That snake oil is obsolete now when the Arabs find you killing the Arabs.

        Your country will not be touched but it will be disintegrated like the soviet Union and again the Majoosi regime will be on the run. That US made Nuke plant in Bushar will be your ultimate burden when the Taliban start taking over major arms depot and head towards the nuke plant. This move will worry Israel as these weapons are falling in to the “wrong Hand” so the strategy is to create an environment as if the Nuke plant can be taken over by the Taliban (Wrong Hand) and make Israel panic. The rest will be televised on the MSM so every wan can watch a Shock and Awe like that of Iran and Afghanistan. Your country has a dirty habit of inserting their filthy finger in to the sunni majority country and for that a hard punishment is waiting for you.

          What the hell are you on. You clown, Iran is now strong enough to take on the US. And the chicken shit US know this. Don’t underestimate how powerful Iran really is. The fact is, what Iran has achieved in the last 30 years, the whole Arab world combined couldn’t. All we are worried about is killing each other because of our different religious and political beliefs while the rest world looks on with laughter. Go spread you hate elsewhere.

          1. You live in a cave ..look how Iran works for NATO as their bell boy
            Iran “discreetly” provided humanitarian aid to Libyan rebels before the fall of Tripoli, Jam-e-Jam newspaper quoted Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi as saying. “We were in touch with many of the rebel groups in Libya before the fall of (Moamer) Kadhafi, and discreetly dispatched three or four food and medical consignments to Benghazi,” Salehi told the daily.

            “The head of the National Transitional Council (NTC), Mustafa Abdel Jalil, sent a letter of thanks to President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad for having been on their side and helping,” he added. Iranian Foreign Minister Ali-Akbar Salehi spoke with N.T.C. Chairman Mustafa Abdul-Jalil over the phone , congratulating the rebels on their “victory over dictatorship.” He also invited Abdul-Jalil to Teheran on a state visit in order to “deepen bilateral ties.”

          2. Iran taking on America really!!!

            Iran’s ex vice president Muhammad Ali Abtahi said: “This was Iran’s first major effort to help the United States to topple the Taliban in Afghanistan and AlQaeda, this would have been impossible without Iran’s help ”

            Iranian Ex President Muhammad Khatami said: “The Taliban was our enemy , America thought Taliban was their enemy too! If they toppled the Taliban it would serve the interest of Iran" Then the alliance targets Iraq !!This time Iranian Ex president Muhammad Khatami said, ” I told him, Lets repeat Afghanistan experience in Iraq!”

            So the pro Iranian puppet regime was installed in Afghanistan. After installing the puppet ruler in Afghanistan Iran was the first to visit Iraq and give legitimacy , President Ahmadnejad went to meet puppet Hamid Karzai gave him a hug and surprisingly US defense secretary Robert gates was also in Kabul in a official visit at the same time!!

          3. Irans great achievement in the last 30 years is the Nuke plant in Bushar which was made by the USA and later other European countries helped them to shape it and finally Russia is helping. Another success was they set up their stooge in Syria and Lebanon. Another success was Iraq and Afghanistan where they got their pro Iranian shia stooge with the help of America. Same in Libya. But now after the Syrian uprising began the failure has begun. So what ever Iran achieved in the past will be gone down the toilet. The duty of the Arab world is to expell these Iranian stooges as soon as possible

    What about Iranian revolutionary guards fighting in Syria? Or Hezbollah Lebanon and Iraq? Are these illegal under the UN charter? Or are you sticking to the tourist version?

      How quick you seem to forget. When Saddam was bombing the shit out of you during the war in the 80’s, who was the only Arab country that stood by you. In case you forgot, I’ll remind you. SYRIA, that’s who.

        omg are you really trying to insult me? thats too pathetic.. soooo sad… sooo evoking pity…
        saddam is one out of a million reasons why iranians dont care about the arabs… they have never brought us anything but misery. as long as syria is concerned you should ask yourself why this joke of a president of syria stood by us… MONEY is the right answer… syria couldnt survive a single day in this war and generally without the flow of money from iran to syria… let me tell you something you probably dont know: arabs dont befriend with you, they befriend with your money! that applies to all arabs including assad, hamas and hizbulshaitan and all the shia lebanese who would kill themself for the sake of iran. And i dont want a friendship with syria or any other arab country based only on money! the arabs can go and sponge on others than us. iran has plenty of starving people who should be on top of the agenda of this mollah-kid instead of syria

          Irani, still doesn’t change the fact that Syria has always stood by Iran. Just like Iran is standing by Syria during her difficult times. Furthermore, when Iran was at war with Iraq, Iran was broke. Remember that. Also remember that Syria was well in surplus, an extremely rich country prior to the war. And Irani, I’m not trying to insult you. I’m only communicating the facts.

          1. IraniAngel Avatar

            yes syria and iran have been standing side by side for a while… correct… what i am saying is that it is just time to END this relationship since iran has bigger problems than constantly caring about syria, lebanon and palestine… dont you agree???? this does in no way oppose what you stated.

            Irani, I agree with you 100% on the condition the west leaves them alone. You see in the the world we live today countries like Iran and Syria need to stand as one. The west doesn’t want Iran and Syria to thrive. They want them to rely on the west. The want them to say yes sir no sir two bags full sir. Iran and Syria can never do that hence their alliance. I mean look at what Iran has achieved in the last 3 decades. This scares the shit out of the west. Do you really think the west want Iran or Syria to be on the same playing field as them. I’m not from Iran, however when I see what they have achieved, I wish I was.

            exactly what have my beloved country achieved since these mollah took office 30 years ago? more drug addicts? more unemployment? inflation? poverty? iran is #1 in terms of brain drain? if it wasnt for these disgusting mollahs iran would be on the top of the world as it is supposed to… the iranian diaspora community is about FIVEmillion and the rest of us dream about leaving this shithole the mollahs have turned the country into… how can iran be great when 99% of the iranians dream of leaving the country? it should be the other way around. iran should have 5 million westerners living here and the rest of them dreaming about coming here.

          5. Every where there is a invasion by the west the Irani Majoos are there carrying the water. You live in a fools paradise
            On 25 Feb 2011, ten days after the NATO-backed rebel started their attack on Gaddafi, Hassan Nasrallah released a statement on Hezbollah’s Al Manar TV channel saying, “Anyone with honor and consciousness in this world cannot, and should not, keep silent on the massacres the Gaddafi regime is committing across the country on a daily basis, namely in Benghazi. Hezbollah expresses support to the revolutionists in Libya, and we pray that they will triumph over this arrogant tyrant.”

            Assad regime also covertly helped NATO in Libyan invasion. The key to understand this is the Gaddafi’s supposed Murder of Musa Al Sadr an Iranian cleric who gave a fatwa that the Alawites are 12 Imami Shia ,thus paved the way for Hafez Assad capture power in Syria after tampering with the Syrian constitution. Gaddafi was a shia too but he wasnt obeying Iran and the Syrian regime so they had to remove him. Gaddafi did support Iran against Iraq. But Gaddafi had a ideological difference with the Rafida shia. Gaddafi wanted to revive the Shia Fatimid Dynasty but Iranian Rafidas want to revive their 12 Imam. Anyway 98% sunnis just got rid of Gaddafi and now they need to eradicate the newly installed Pro Iranian puppet in Libya.
