US interventionist, destructive policy fuels Syria crisis: Iran
Tehran (KNA) - Iran has denounced a US plan to set up a militant force near Syria’s border with Turkey as “blatant interference” in the Arab country’s domestic affairs, urging Washington to reverse its “destructive” policies in the Middle East.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Bahram Qassemi said on Tuesday that the US's plan is a "clear example" of interference in Syria's internal affairs, which complicates the crisis, leads to instability and fans the flames of the conflict there.
The US announced Sunday that it will work, along with a coalition of its allies purportedly fighting Daesh, with US-backed militants of the so-called Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) to set up a new 30,000-strong "border security" force.
The force would operate along the Turkish border with Iraq and within Syria along the Euphrates River.
