Iran: Attack on Syria an Attack on Iran

Conflict more than two years long now

 Issuing Tehran's strongest warning to date, a top Iranian official said Saturday that any attack on Syria would be deemed an attack on Iran, a sign that it will do all it can to protect embattled Syrian President Bashar Assad.

Ali Akbar Velayati, an aide to Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, made his comments as Syrian troops conducted offensive air raids against rebels and discovered a trio of tunnels they were using to smuggle weapons in their fight to topple Assad.

Since the warboner faction is already dying for an excuse to attack Iran, Obama probably sees this as a positive.

... and Bush continues to be vindicated. Syria, Iran, and North Korea are all making noise this past week.

We're not going to attack Iran likely. They will have to attack Turkey or the Gulf States for us to go to war, I think.

Iran authoritarian regime is just defeating themselves by supporting Assad. He will fall at some point.
