"They have resorted to this (military) operation because they failed to make an achievement in the region; but this operation cannot change the power equation in the region or in Syria," Lieutenant Commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Brigadier General Hossein Salami told reporters here in Tehran on Sunday.
"The Syrian army and government are making advancement and heading forward in the battlefield and foreign countries lack the power to wage a massive military intervention" and thus they resort to such fruitless moves, Salami.
The Syrian Army said in a statement on Wednesday that two people were killed and five others injured in an Israeli airstrike on a scientific center in Jamraya, 25 kilometers (15 miles) Northwest of the capital Damascus.
On Thursday, Iranian Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi strongly condemned the Israeli air strike on Syria, and called on the international community to show firm reaction to the Zionist regime's aggressive move.
He said the attack was "blatant violation of Syria's territorial integrity".
The inhuman move proves the legitimacy of the Syrian government and its nation in supporting resistance movements and their enmity with the Zionists, Salehi said.
The move also reveals the coordination between terrorists trying to destabilize Syria in order to attain the sinister goals of the Zionist regime, he said.
Salehi further urged a serious reaction to Israel's air assault to prevent the regime from repeating such attacks, and stated, "A serious reaction should be shown to the event. We should be very cautious about the regime's dirty goals in the region because the Zionist regime does not move within the framework of humanity, wisdom and international regulations.
