Syria and Iran to form united front against enemies

IRAN and Syria yesterday announced plans to form a united front to confront possible threats to them.

Meanwhile, Israel said Iran was just six months away from a nuclear bomb and Russia said it wanted to supply Syria with advanced missile systems, moves likely to anger the US.

“In view of the special conditions faced by Syria, Iran will transfer its experience, especially concerning sanctions, to Syria,” Mohammad Reza Aref, Iran’s first vice president, was quoted as saying after meeting Syrian Prime Minister Mohammad Naji Otari.
