Iran would take action if U.S. attacked Syria: official
Source: Reuters
Iran has steadfastly supported Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in his bid to suppress an uprising which both Tehran and Damascus see as a proxy war by Israel and Western states to extend their influence in the Middle East.
"If America were to attack Syria, Iran along with Syria's allies will take action, which would amount to a fiasco for America," Mohammad Ali Assoudi, the deputy for culture and propaganda of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), was quoted as saying.
Assoudi's comments were first carried by the government-linked news agency Young Journalists' Club but were later apparently taken down from the group's website. The comments were picked up by Iranian news sites including Iran's Jam-e Jam newspaper and the BBC's Persian-language site.
Assoudi did not specify exactly what steps Iran would take, but said Syria's allies would implement their joint military pact in the case of a U.S. attack

(13,184 posts)I recall rebels a few months ago seizing 11 Iranians they claimed were Revolutionary Guards, but they turned out to be engineers.
Then there's that bus-load of Iranians who were kidnapped by the FSA. The FSA said they RG, but Iran says they are pilgrims.
What evidence is there that the Republican Guard is fighting in Syria?

(10,558 posts)....would never sabre rattle now would he. Maybe we could send that John Bolton fellow with the mustache over to have a serious chat with the good Minister.
Please note, my sarcasm here does not reflect the concerns we should rightly have regarding the citizenry of Syria and their current struggles. The corporatists who seek to run our country WANT a war between the US and Iran. One can only wonder what the real agenda of this Minister is.
