US Intervention In Syria: Damascus Official Warns Against Aggression Towards The Country After Barack Obama Announce Expansion Of Airstrikes Against ISIL

| By

When President Barack Obama announced that his administration is set to carry out a more stringent US intervention in Syria, the public's opinion was divided. One part thinks this could be another Iraq while the other is relieved thinking no more Americans will be beheaded, no more Christians will be displaced or killed by the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL).

"America will lead a broad coalition to roll back this terrorist threat," Mr Obama said.

"We will degrade, and ultimately destroy, Isil through a comprehensive and sustained counter-terrorism strategy."

The current America administration has laid out a possible US Intervention in Syria. However, executing this plan has one huge obstacle, the Syrian government.

Ali Haidar, minister of national reconciliation affairs, told reports that the US government cannot lay out their strikers against ISIL if it doesn't have the approval of the Syrian government.

"Any action of any type without the approval of Syrian government is an aggression against Syria," Ali Haidar told reporters in Damascus on Thursday.

"There must be cooperation with Syria and coordination with Syria and there must be a Syrian approval of any action whether it is military or not."

Haidar said that stopping the ISIL might be used as an excuse by foreign countries to attack the whole country.

Shortly after Obama addressed the American public about the US intervention in Syria, the Western Asian nation's Western-backed opposition group immediately expressed their support. However, they want to ensure first that president Bashar al-Assad will be kicked out of his post.

"The Syrian Coalition ... stands ready and willing to partner with the international community not only to defeat ISIS [Islamic State] but also rid the Syrian people of the tyranny of the Assad regime," said Hadi al-Bahra, head of the coalition.

In his speech, Obama said that he will not hesitate to hit any militants who will threat the security of America.

"I will not hesitate to take action against [ISIS] in Syria, as well as Iraq," Obama said.

"This is a core principle of my presidency: If you threaten America, you will find no safe haven."
