U.S. will pay price for attacks on Islamic world: Larijani

TEHRAN -- Majlis Speaker Ali Larijani has warned that the United States will “pay a price” for its attacks on Islamic countries.

Larijani made the remarks on Wednesday in response to the U.S. attack on Syria on Sunday.
The U.S. has carried out similar actions in Pakistan under the pretext of the war on terror, killing dozens of innocent people, and “this time it was Syria’s turn,” he noted.
He stated that the U.S. should be aware that the Muslims are losing their patience and should avoid entering what he called the “minefields of resistance.”
“The latest U.S. attack on Syria is another instance of adventurism in the region” which will surely produce unexpected repercussions for the U.S., Larijani told MPs during an open session of parliament.
Such attacks and violations of the territorial integrity of countries cannot be dealt with diplomatically, he added.
Rather they require strong and unexpected responses like Hezbollah’s response to the Zionist regime’s attack on Lebanon or legendary Iranian martyr Hossein Fahmideh’s brave deed in the 1980-1988 Iran-Iraq war, he said.
