Syria has issued a stern warning, stating that the United States’ decision to supply long-range ballistic missiles to Ukraine will escalate regional tensions to unprecedented levels and bring the world closer to the threat of nuclear war—a consequence that would be borne by all nations. The Syrian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates, in a statement released yesterday, attributed this potential escalation to what it described as the U.S.’s “hostile approach” towards the Russian Federation.
“The United States and the collective West persist in adopting policies that undermine global security and stability by providing unlimited support to both the Zelensky regime in Europe and the Zionist entity in our region,” the ministry declared, as reported by SANA.
The statement further accused the U.S. of flagrantly violating international law and arms control treaties by supplying advanced weapons to its allies. This, according to the ministry, has enabled actions such as the Kyiv regime’s attacks on Russian territory, which destabilize Europe and the wider world. It also condemned U.S. support for what it termed the “Zionist entity,” which it claims uses precision missiles to conduct “barbaric aggression” against Syria and Lebanon.
“The destructive role of the United States is evident in its efforts to maintain global hegemony,” the statement asserted.
Syria also strongly condemned U.S. actions, particularly the provision of long-range missiles to Ukraine, which it claimed could enable attacks deep within Russian territory. Such actions, the ministry argued, would exacerbate the conflict, escalate tensions in the region, and push the world closer to a nuclear conflict.
The Syrian Arab Republic reiterated its warning that U.S. policies of instigating conflicts in global hot spots and arming its allies with advanced weaponry risk the collapse of international security and stability systems. “The price of these reckless policies will ultimately be paid by all peoples of the world,” the statement concluded.
