General Masoud Jazayeri, deputy chief of staff of the elite Iranian Revolutionary Guards, warned Arab countries of funding or arming Syrian revolutionaries, while stressing the Islamic Republic’s support for Bashar al-Assad’s regime.

“Syria’s allies will not allow Bashar al-Assad’s regime to be toppled and will deal fatal blows to the enemies of Damascus,” Jazayeri told the Sepah News website, affiliated to the Guards.

Those allies, he added, have not yet interfered in the Syrian crisis but when they do, they will avenge all parties that fight against the Syrian regime particularly those he described as “Arab outcast.”

Jazayeri’s statements come in response to earlier calls by Arab foreign ministers to arm the Syrian opposition.

Jazayeri described the countries that support the Free Syrian Army as the “great Devil’s front” and argued that Zionist and Western agendas are behind the Syrian uprising, stressing that both the government and the people of Syria are capable of foiling those conspiracies.
