Iran warns of ‘regional consequences’ of Syria strikes

Tehran (AFP) – Iran warned of “regional consequences” on Saturday following a wave of punitive strikes in Syria by the United States, Britain and France. 

“The United States and its allies have no proof and, without even waiting for the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons to take a position, have carried out this military attack… and are responsible for the regional consequences,” said foreign ministry spokesman Bahram Ghasemi on his Telegram channel.
