Iran criticized Turkey today for requesting that NATO supply it with
Patriot surface-to-air missiles to deploy along the border with Syria. Iranian
parliament speaker Ali Larijani, on a visit to Lebanon, denounced the Turkish
request as counterproductive.
“The internal crisis in Syria cannot be solved through the deployment of such weapons,” Larijani said at a news conference in Beirut. Larijani had arrived at the Lebanese capital after holding a meeting with Syrian President Bashar as-Assad in Damascus. (AP, 23 November)

NATO said Wednesday it will consider Turkey’s request “without delay.”
That's Turkeys business.

General Hajizadeh mentioned in the past that Turkish radar for the misille shied may be targeted in a case of war against the IRI.

ReplyDeleteI would like to add to your comment that it is naive to assume by anybody; that Russia will let to happen, that a western oriented government will be installed in Iran.
