Syria will strike Israel and “set fire” to the Middle East if foreign forces choose to launch a military strike on the protest-ridden country, the Iranian news agency Fars quoted Syrian President Bashar Assad as saying on Tuesday, referring to remarks made by the Syrian leader during a meeting with Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu last August.
LONDON — Iran has carried out secret tests of ballistic missiles capable of delivering a nuclear payload in breach of UN resolutions, British Foreign Secretary William Hague said Wednesday.
Hague’s comments came a day after Iran’s elite Revolutionary Guards said they had fired 14 missiles in an exercise, one of them a medium-range weapon capable of striking Israel or US targets in the Gulf.
In a statement to lawmakers, Hague said: “Iran has also been carrying out covert ballistic missile tests and rocket launches, including testing missiles capable of delivering a nuclear payload in contravention of UN resolution 1929.”
He said Iran had also announced plans to triple its capacity to produce 20 percent enriched uranium, adding: “These are enrichment levels far greater than is needed for peaceful nuclear energy. AFP

In his first public speech since the end of his term as head of Israel’s Mossad foreign intelligence agency, Major-General (res.) Meir Dagan said that Israel would be better off if Bashar Assad is deposed from power in Syria.
This scenario would halt aid to Hizbullah, weaken Iran’s influence and strengthen Saudi Arabia – all of which are beneficial developments for Israel, he explained.
He assessed, however, that Assad and the minority Alawite sect’s regime would fight opposiiton to the bitter end, because they have no other option. Their choices are “win or die” and they know it, he said.
