“The trend of the developments in Syria proved that… a plot had been hatched to create a crisis in Syria in order to ensure the security of the Zionist regime (Israel),” Roknabadi said on Monday.
Syria has been experiencing unrest since mid-March 2011. Many people, including large numbers of security personnel, have been killed in the violence.
The Syrian government says the chaos is being orchestrated from outside the country, and there are reports that a very large number of the militants are foreign nationals.
The Iranian ambassador made the remarks in a meeting with Lebanese Coptic leader Archbishop Louis Urshalimi.
Stressing the necessity of strengthening stability and solidarity in the regional countries particularly Lebanon and Syria, the Iranian ambassador said the Islamic Republic does not spare any effort to facilitate unity among nations fighting against the occupying regime of Israel.
Urshalimi, for his part, said the situation in Syria is progressing toward stability but certain media outlets are trying to portray a distorted picture of the developments.
Urshalimi stressed the necessity of a political solution to the crisis in Syria and said the continuation of conflicts has no result but more devastation.
