Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei warned of “dire consequences” should the United States decide to launch a strike on Syria, according to regional media reports.
In his first public comments since the Obama administration hinted it would take action in Syria, Khamenei warned that the United States would be “severely harmed by pursuing warmongering policies against the Muslim country,” according to Iran’s state-run Fars News Agency.
“The U.S. threats and possible intervention in Syria is a disaster for the region and if such an act is done, certainly, the Americans will sustain damage like when they interfered in Iraq and Afghanistan,” Khamenei was quoted as saying in a Wednesday meeting with Iran’s newly installed cabinet.
