Alaeddin Boroujerdi, chairman of Iran’s parliamentary committee on foreign affairs, on Thursday condemned Israel for carrying out strikes in Syria against Iranian targets.
“Israel has entered a dangerous game,” Boroujerdi said during a visit to the Portuguese capital Lisbon, according to AFP.
The main purpose of these attacks, supported by the United States, is to divert public opinion from the behavior of the American president (and) his decision to leave the agreement,” he added, referring to U.S. President Donald Trump’s decision this week to withdraw the United States from the 2015 Iran nuclear deal.
Boroujerdi has threatened Israel in the past. Earlier this month, he warned that his country will retaliate against Israeli “aggression” in Syria, follow air strikes attributed to Israel on military bases in the Syrian city of Hama where Iranian advisers were stationed.
“The aggression of the Zionist entity on our advisers in Syria guarantees us the right of response,” he said at the time.
