Syria's Mufti: Western Intervention Triggers Martyrdom-Seeking Operations in Europe
TEHRAN (FNA)- Syria's religious authority warned that any western military intervention in the country's affairs would trigger martyrdom-seeking operations by Syrians across Europe and the US.
"In case of any aggression against Syria, all Syrians will become martyrdom-seekers," Syria's Grand Mufti Sheikh Badroddin Hasoun said, addressing the European countries.
"If Europe or conspirators launch an invasion of Syria or Lebanon, all our children in Britain, France and the US will turn into martyrdom-seekers," he added.
His remarks came after Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in a meeting with Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmad Davutoglu threatened the western countries that if Syria came under a NATO attack, it would set fire to the Middle-East, specially Israel.
"If a crazy measure is taken against Damascus, I will need not more than 6 hours to transfer hundreds of rockets and missiles to the Golan Heights to fire them at Tel Aviv," Assad said after Davutoglu conveyed the United States' warning message to him.
He also reiterated that Damascus will also call on Hezbollah in Lebanon to launch such an intensive rocket and missile attack on Israel that the Israeli spy agencies could never imagine.
"All these events will happen in three hours, but in the second three hours, Iran will attack the US warships in the Persian Gulf and the US and European interests will be targeted simultaneously," Assad said.
Syria has been experiencing unrest since mid-March, enduring organized attacks against Syrian police forces and border guards by well-armed gangs that are reportedly supported by foreign sources.
Hundreds of people, including members of the security forces, have been killed when some protest rallies turned into armed clashes.
The government blames outlaws, saboteurs, and armed terrorist groups for the deaths, stressing that the unrest is being orchestrated from abroad.
The US and the European Union have been criticizing Damascus throughout the unrest. The Western alliance recently went so far as calling for Assad's ouster and threatening the sovereign country with wide-ranging economic sanctions and foreign military invasion.
Turkey as a NATO member has also warned on various occasions that it would take action against Bashar al-Assad's government.
