    “They will regret this recent aggression,” Saeed Jalili, Secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, told a news conference in Damascus a day after holding talks there with President Bashar al-Assad.

    Jalili likened Israel’s attack on a military compound north-west of Damascus on Wednesday to previous conflicts including its 34-day war with Lebanon’s Shi’ite militant group Hezbollah in 2006, all battles that he said Israel had lived to regret.

    “Today, too, both the people and the government of Syria are serious regarding the issue. And also the Islamic community is supporting Syria,” he said.

    Jalili said Iran, in its current role as head of the Non-Aligned Movement, would work on Syria’s behalf on the international stage in response to the attack.

    Israeli Defence Minister Ehud Barak said on Sunday the attack on a Syrian arms complex showed Israel was serious about preventing the flow of heavy weapons into Lebanon, appearing to acknowledge for the first time that Israel had carried out the strike.

    Diplomats, Syrian rebels and security sources say Israeli jets bombed a convoy near the Lebanese border, apparently hitting weapons destined for Hezbollah.

    Israel should learn that their are consequences they’ll face by their actions. Had they ignore the syrians, Iran would’ve been quiet as well

    Intimidation, threats, and scare tactics, are all typical of terrorists and those who are bullies in general.
    Not one word is mentioned by the terrorists about the fact that the weapons that were about to be delivered, were to used to murder and maim thousands. Instead of talking about that, they rattle their swords against Israel for destroying the convoy of trucks bringing in those weapons.
    So here comes the intimidating threats to show off for the Arab world that they will try to scare the Jews which is the common enemy of anyone who reads the koran.
    That too, contains scare tactics, threats, and intimidation, also known as bullying.
