Larijani: "West, Zionist Regime on Verge of Collapse" (Fars News-Iran)

Remember, as you try to follow it, that this is basically about Syria:

Developments in the world display that the western countries and the Zionist regime are definitely on the verge of collapse, Iranian Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani said on Thursday.

"The West and the Zionist regime are on the verge of collapse; the US and its allies are making their utmost efforts to deviate Islam. The current anti-Syrian acts of the West are rooted in the fact that Damascus supports the resistance against the Zionist occupiers," Larijani said.

The United States and the Zionist regime are sources of tyranny and oppression worldwide, he added.

Syria has been experiencing unrest since March 2011 with organized attacks by well-armed gangs against Syrian police forces and border guards being reported across the country.

Hundreds of people, including members of the security forces, have been killed, when some protest rallies turned into armed clashes.

The government blames outlaws, saboteurs, and armed terrorist groups for the deaths, stressing that the unrest is being orchestrated from abroad.

In October, calm was eventually restored in the Arab state after President Assad started a reform initiative in the country, but Israel, the US and its Arab allies are seeking hard to bring the country into chaos through any possible means. Tel Aviv, Washington and some Arab capitals have been staging various plots in the hope of increasing unrests in Syria.

It's working well, too.
