Iran is accused Israel and the West of meddling in Syria

Infolive.tv - Israel News - Iran accused Israel's allies on Tuesday of interfering in Syria after Western countries said Tehran may be helping crush dissent there. Foreign Ministry spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast told a news conference "Some regimes, especially America and the Zionist regime, with particular aims, are provoking terrorist groups in Syria and in the region to carry out terrorist acts and sabotage operations,". Iran, which crushed its own anti-government protests after the contested re-election of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in 2009, has voiced support for uprisings in most of the Arab world, but not Syria with which it has what it sees as a "line of resistance" against Israel as both support militant groups Hamas and Hezbollah. Britain has said there is "credible information suggesting Iran is helping Syria with the suppression of protests there, including through the provision of expertise and equipment," a charge Tehran denied.
