Iran's Larijani: Military intervention in Syria will 'engulf' Israel

Any crisis caused by military intervention in Syria would "envelop the Zionist regime," Iranian Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani said Wednesday.

"US military officials probably have a poor understanding of themselves and regional issues because Syria is in no way similar to Libya, and (the effects of) creating another Benghazi in Syria would spread to Palestine, and ash rising from the flames would definitely envelop the Zionist regime,” Larijani was quoted by the Tehran Times as saying during a speech in parliament.
