Russian TV: Deployment of Patriot air defense missiles on the Syrian-Turkish border may be a prologue to a global conflict, warned Iran’s top brass on Saturday. The very future of humanity, let alone Europe, is endangered, the general told national TV.
Following news about NATO sending several batteries of surface-to-air Patriot missile systems to Turkey, Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces Major General Hassan Firouzabadi warned the move would only encourage further aggravation of the Syrian conflict.
“Unfortunately, one by one, the Western countries are approving deployment of Patriot missiles to Turkey’s border with Syria while they are planning a world war, which is very dangerous for the future of humanity and Europe itself,” General Firouzabadi said.
