“Iran will support Syria ‘until the end’ in the face of possible US-led military strikes, the chief of Iran’s elite Quds Force unit was quoted Thursday by the media as saying. Iran is Syria’s main regional ally and some analysts believe a wider goal of US President Barack Obama’s determination to launch a strike against the Damascus regime is to blunt Tehran’s growing regional influence and any consequent threat to Washington ally Israel. President Hassan Rowhani said Iran will do ‘everything to prevent’ an attack on the Syrian regime, according to extracts from statements he made before the Assembly of Experts published in the media.”
