Iranian MPs meet Assad, denounce possible US strike
Iranian MPs held talks Saturday in Syria with President Bashar Assad and denounced any possible Western attack on that country over chemical weapons allegations, the head of the delegation said.
Meanwhile, the head of Iran's powerful Revolutionary Guards warned that a US strike would trigger "reactions beyond" Syria and would bolster extremism. "As representatives of the Islamic Republic of Iran we declare our hostility for any attack or war against Syria," IRNA news agency quoted Allaeddine Boroujerdi, chairman of parliament's influential foreign policy committee, as saying.
