Coaltion of war on Syria failed

A senior Iranian expert in regional affairs says US President Barak Obama changed his course of action after the west refused to accompany him in an assault on Syria.

Sadollah Zare’i told Qudsna that the position of Obama and his democrat party would be at stake if he launched a unilateral war on Syria.

The expert said the US thought it could forge a consensus among its western allies in the breadth of several days for launching a war on Syria however the opposition of the British lawmakers clearly showed how the two sides are divided over the military intervention.

“In the US on the other hand Obama faced a situation where a unilateral war on Syria would damage the stature and position of his party so he tied a war on Syria to a congressional okay,” the expert said, adding that if Obama really considered the congressional vote a must he would have start the process with discussion in the Congress.

“The expert said would ultimately attack Syria even if it is forced to act unilaterally,” he said.
