thanks for being with us announced past the hour on parents are on she would have quit cold and limestone america's armed involvement in syria is not all to the table with u.s. military officials are reviewing their options in case the diplomatic isolation of assad's regime fails. russia criticizes nato at the u.n. security council for refusing to admit civilian deaths during the veto alliances air raids in libya lots here and expresses how the training council or syrian revolutionaries discovered in libya. and iran warns of the resumption of nuclear

talks which have recently been agreed upon my proof you child if the world's powers keep imposing pressure and sanctions on staff wrong. next up in an interview with archie iran's deputy foreign minister gives his assessment of the likelihood of military confrontation over his country's nuclear program. we're witnessing increased tension between the u.s. and israel against around us your assessment of the recent statements by president obama and he's really prime minister netanyahu all of us israeli threats against iran are not new it's a repeating scenario involving the u.s. and the zionist country what's important is that we understand the terms and conditions to which the u.s. president is in an election cycle these threats are for domestic consumption and

are intended to influence election results some of these threats relate to changes taking place in the middle east north africa as well as the arab revolutions which were led rather peacefully and quietly by the muslim peoples and we are currently witnessing political and security changes which have come as a response to popular demand we could america's presence in the region and empowered resistance against zionism and against repressive regimes till of eve is in a very bad situation and netanyahu is incapable of taking decisions or seriously thinking of attacking iran should this unlikely attack ever happen israel would face dire consequences they know this well and netanyahu statements reflect his fears because they are very weak now iran is much stronger than them even in the current circumstances of what i would order the consequences of a possible attack by israel on iran. we have different retaliate every options

however we're not convinced that israel has the capability to launch a military attack on iran we see it as unrealistic any move against us would be strongly responded to and they would regret it. and i got another one how do you perceive the situation in syria you are accused of sending weapons and elements from the rain army and their revolutionary guard to syria is this true or. we have strategic relations with syria which we see as an important state in the resistance access our historical ties with the people and government of syria give us a good insight into the nature of the syrian people who because of their resistance to us israeli domination possess a deep sense of national unity that contrary to what some parties say we do not need to send weapons to syria we simply articulating our support for the syrian people and the reforms of president bashar al assad we have also said clearly that we recognize and understand the objectives of the u.s.

and zionists in this vitally important middle east country and we would not allow america to use unrest in the country to install new power structures that would upset the balance of power in the region certainly not without the demand and will of the syrian people since america cares only for its own interests on the contrary we've received accurate intelligence from our allies the tens of us israeli backed trucks loaded with weapons have crossed syria's borders bringing more danger to syria fortunately syria and the syrian people have been able to face all foreign intervention over the past few months the result was the public referendum on the syrian constitution which was held peacefully we deny charges of sending weapons to syria which does not need our weapons in our opinion what syria needs above everything else is political support in facing a one sided american sanctions and it also needs the reforms executed there to be taken into due consideration these are core points in iran's policy towards syria.

or they are rather for you how do you think the situation in syria will end up and worst. syria heading up at one moment i don't think if over the past three months we believe syria has gone through three basic phases first did manage to overcome the security chaos phase into which america the zionist regime western states and unfortunately some arab states invested their knowledge intelligence and mass media in an attempt to pursue their interest but syria managed to overcome this almost two months ago. in the second phase before the constitutional referendum syria managed to solve its security problems of the syrian people and government succeeded is evidenced by the constitutional poll. the third phase marks the completion of assad's reforms we should soon witness parliamentary elections as syria heads toward stability and peace which we're seeing across the country the

other parties played all their cards but couldn't make it work their goal centered on creating chaos in syria well i say is confirmed by the results of the conference held by the so-called friends of syria in tunis and they came out with nothing we are optimistic and confident that the syrian people and president bashar al assad will succeed and will continue reforms while facing down foreign interventions and terrorism for these reasons the national dialogue process should look forward with confidence. again it will yeah when it will be foreign troops getting to syria would you be willing to defend it what about has been lost feet. as the internationally orchestrated crisis began in syria some spoke of foreign intervention but once they saw the reality on the ground they ceased such rhetoric we strongly reject any foreign intervention in syria and we do believe that syria

is capable of defending itself against any such intervention given the constructive and positive steps taken by the regime and the support it receives from the syrian people in the case of a decision to militarily intervene in syria the region would face a serious crisis of different parties would enter the conflict serving neither syria's nor the syrian people's purposes nor the stability and security of the region and the world yet have been augmented with just how different are the situations in syria and in bahrain you clearly your support for the syrian president and at the same time called on the king arbor. rain to start reforms seen video mance of the bahraini people are legitimate does this mean the syrian people's demands are here which it emitted havilland out about it we take into consideration the different circumstances of each country yemen bahrain and syria we follow the same policy with all in all three countries we believe that the demands of the people should be taken into consideration and we also believe that

political reforms should also take place at the same time we denounce any foreign intervention in these three states it's also our belief that national dialogue is the only solution for these countries and that the government should implement reforms necessary for national dialogue the difference between syria and bahrain is that the part of the events in syria a real such as people's demands and their need for reforms. like all other arab states syria needs reforms and democracy at a greater part of the so-called events in syria is artificial initiated by foreign intervention by flooding the country with weapons manipulating regional change to weaken an important resistant state of close examination of recent events in syria clearly distinguish it from the middle east and north africa for instance the capital cities of the states with the center for the people's protests and demands

while in syria we see that damascus was largely the scene of rallies supporting the regime even during the referendum the highest turnout it was in the capital moreover protests in syria began three and a half months after the protests in other countries and only along the borders they started as armed movements aimed at creating civil war and the anti regime groups would soon supply with weapons so that the protests could take their current form for these reasons we believe that the events in syria differ from those in yemen bahrain or egypt above all killing the syrian people is a red line for us and we denounce murderous operations conducted by both parties as we do confirm the necessity of meeting the demands of the people or matador rule i had when we witnessed the rise of islamic parties to power in egypt tunisia and we begin. how will this affect the region well what other thing there for you we believe that great changes are taking place in light of the islamic and arab

awakening which will eventually lead to a dismantling of pro-american regimes in the region the west itself sees it like that you players will come to the fore from youths different classes and elites at the same time the islamists are winning elections and new regional security arrangements in the region are emerging as sieging american and zionist interest in the region forcing them to step back and eventually they will lose their dominant position as a result the us is zionist alliance concentrates on syria in an attempt to wipe out the regional resistance axis we believe the arab and islamic awakening in the middle east will eventually lead to greater democracy security and stability creating prosperity in a region that will enjoy tranquility and constructive relations with the international community with no place for us zionist dominance and fun with us and a whole lot of the about the women the reigning elections will mark not a victory by the conservatives does this mean nothing will change iran's the mastic

all foreign policy. there's a with. iranian foreign policy is wise stemming from the dignity and interest of the islamic republic of iran that it works within the parameters of peace and stability in the persian gulf and plays an active role in changes enveloping the region and the world elections have shown once again the solidarity and disposition of the iranian people reformists have always had an active political role to play the expressed opinion of the electorate reflects their support for a rainy and foreign policy currently the iranian government's objectives lie in achieving prosperity for our people security for our country and for the region we're working to achieve these objectives more than we have done before the camel's back on because. it was.
