At a meeting with a delegation from Iran in Damascus, Bashar Assad, the president of the republic, said that Syria was ready to repulse the outer attack of the West. He noted that the people with the army will act harmoniously and confidently, just as they fight aggression inside the country for several years.
He also said that even the US threats about military intervention will not force Syria to renounce their principles against terrorism, as the American authorities do. Also, Assad added that the conflict that has gone in the country is nothing more than a fight against terrorism.
It all started with the fact that the United States has evidence of the use of chemical weapons under Damascus. As the Secretary of State of John Kerry noted, American experts received samples that indicate that Zarin was applied. Barack Obama, the US President, requested approval of the Senate and the House of Representatives to conduct a military operation in Syria. Voting on this issue will happen no earlier than September 9 of this year. America received support from the UK and France, but the UK parliament imposed a veto on the intervention of the British army in the Syrian conflict, limiting himself only to diplomatic support. NATO Blok refused to participate in the Syrian conflict.
The armed invasion of the Roman Francis I turned out to be an ardent opponent of the armed invasion, calling the countries of the political settlement of the conflict during the traditional Sunday public audience. In addition to the pope, Iraq and Egypt opposed military intervention.
Recall that on August 21, 2013, information appeared that poisonous substances were used in the city of Guta, which is located east of Damascus. After that, the United States began to actively increase the military presence in the Mediterranean Sea. The Pentagon readily said that at any time to intervene in the conflict.
