Syrian President Bashar al-Assad said Sunday that his country is capable of confronting any external aggression, in reference to a possible U.S.-led strike against his country, as Iran, his staunchest ally, pledged constant support to Damascus in face of escalating pressures.
Assad made the remarks during his meeting with visiting Chairman of the Iranian Parliament National Security and Foreign Policy Commission, Alaeddin Boroujerdi, who arrived in Syria on Saturday.
"Syria is capable of confronting any foreign aggression as it confronts the daily attacks by the terrorist groups and those who stand behind them," Assad said.
The remarks came amid the U.S. threats to carry out a military operation against Syria, over the alleged use of chemical weapons by the government troops against the Syrian people in the countryside of Damascus last week.
While saying that Syria is achieving one victory after another until restoring security and stability to the homeland, Assad stressed that Washington's threats will not discourage Syria from commitment to its principles and firm stances, and from combating terrorism.
