BEIJING, June 26 (Xinhuanet) -- Saudi Arabia has called the involvement of Iran and Hezbollah in Syria’s civil war as dangerous, and said the rebels must be offered military aid to defend themselves.
Speaking at a news conference with visiting US Secretary of State John Kerry in Jeddah, Saudi foreign minister Prince Saud al-Faisal said his country would respond to the Iranian intervention. He also called for an international resolution to ban arms flows to the Syrian government.
Meanwhile, Kerry said the US believes an international conference offers the best chance to bring about a political solution. He added the US would continue to provide assistance to Syrian opposition forces. Kerry returned to the Middle East after a two-day visit to India. He has held discussions with Prince Saud and Saudi intelligence chief Prince Bandar bin Sultan on the Syrian crisis.
