Iranian Ambassador to Lebanon Ghadanfar Rokn Abadi accused western countries - which proposed the plan of the UN envoy to Syria Kofi Annan - are sparing no effort now to foil it.
During an interview with Al-Manar television Thursday, Abadi also accused international parties of arming the Syrian opposition.
“There are Arab and international parties arming the opposition to overthrow the Syrian regime,” Abadi told Al-Manar.
He commented on the blasts that targeted Damascus earlier on Thursday and said those behind the explosions “target the people, not the regime.”
Abadi added that there were parties “working day and night” to make UN-Arab League envoy’s peace plan fail.
He stressed as well that “the international community is biased and does not work to achieve justice .. where the vast majority of the Syrian people are with the regime.”
Damascus has accepted Annan's six-point peace plan, which calls for a commitment by all parties to cease all armed violence, under UN supervision.
Two powerful blasts in quick succession rocked the Syrian capital on Thursday morning, killing and wounding dozens of people, state television said, blaming the attacks on "terrorists."
