Damascus, April 23, IRNA - Head of Majlis Commission on National Security and Foreign Policy Alaeddin Boroujerdi said on Monday that war on Syria threatens peace and stability of the entire region. Boroujerdi made the remarks in a meeting with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. The Zionist regime and the US are the real losers of the war if they wage on Syria, he said. Boroujerdi heading a parliamentary friendship group conferred with Syrian president on issues of mutual interests along with latest developments in Syria. Congratulating the Syrian president on anniversary of the Syrian independence, Boroujerdi said that opening a new front for the US in Jordan indicates that the Americans have failed in their two-year anti-Syria campaign with their regional allies. Itˈs a futile attempt to convene the Syrian enemies for anti-Syrian campaign under the name of Syrian friends, he said adding that the number of participants decreased from 130 to less than 10 which indicates that their regional policies are doomed to fail. The Syrian president, for his part, appreciated sympathy of the Islamic Republic of Iran with the Syrian nation in confrontation with the US-backed terrorism in Syria and conveyed his warm greetings to the Iranian Supreme Leader and Majlis speaker and said, ˈI sincerely appreciate Iranˈs economic assistance to Syria and would like to announce that the Syrian government and nation are thankful of Iran.ˈ The Syrian nation are determined to thwart the threats posed by the professional terrorists paid by Washington, he said. Lauding Iranˈs stand to support resistance to Israeli occupying regime under the current sensitive circumstances, he said such stand is vital for establishment of peace and stability in the Middle East./end
