FM Zarif says US strike in Syria based on ‘bogus’ allegations
Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said on Friday that a US missile strike on a Syrian airbase was based on “bogus” chemical weapons allegations, AFP reported.
Washington “resorts to military force over bogus CW (chemical weapons) allegations: 1st in 2003 and now in Syria,” he tweeted.
He was comparing the strike to the US-led invasion of Iraq, which was premised on allegations that Baghdad had weapons of mass destruction which later turned out to be unfounded.
Tehran says any attacks on Assad will aid “terrorist” groups that oppose him.
“Not even two decades after 9/11, US military fighting on same side as Al-Qaeda and ISIS (the Islamic State group) in Yemen and Syria. Time to stop hype and cover-ups,” Zarif tweeted.

The question is who is doing it! Who is provoking it? If money could talk, perpetrators would take a hike for a long time. Americans leaked the airstrike to Russians- Russians leaked the airstrike to Iranians- Iranians leaked the airstrike to Syrians, then a semi empty airbase was hit and 80 million Dollars were spent on behalf of American tax Dollars.
