Jalili said that those states sending arms to Syria are liable for the terrorist attacks in the Arab country and added that it was with such weapons that the Iranian pilgrims were abducted in Syria.
He made the remarks on Wednesday at a joint press conference with Iraq's National Security Adviser Faleh al-Fayad in the Iraqi capital, Baghdad.
"Those who send weapons to Syria seek to create division in the region, and they justify the accusations against them through playing a blame game and an forward escaping strategy," he added.
On Saturday, armed insurgents in Syria kidnapped 48 Iranian pilgrims who were traveling on a bus from Damascus International Airport to the shrine of Hazrat Zainab (AS) on the outskirts of Damascus.
Syria has been experiencing unrest since March 2011 with organized attacks by well-armed gangs against Syrian police forces and border guards being reported across the country.
Hundreds of people, including members of the security forces, have been killed, when some protest rallies turned into armed clashes.
The government blames outlaws, saboteurs, and armed terrorist groups for the deaths, stressing that the unrest is being orchestrated from abroad.
In October, calm was eventually restored in the Arab state after President Assad started a reform initiative in the country, but Israel, the US and its Arab allies are seeking hard to bring the country into chaos through any possible means. Tel Aviv, Washington and some Arab capitals have been staging various plots in the hope of stirring unrests in Syria once again.
