Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki here on Tuesday described the recent US attacks on Syria as a 'disgraceful defeat' and urged the new US administration to revise the wrong policy.
Mottaki made the remarks on Tuesday in a joint press conference with his Djiboutian counterpart Mahmoud Ali Youssouf.
The US aggression on Syria is sign of the country's weakness and desperation in carrying out its mission in the Middle East region, Mottaki said.
The US action in Syria is sign of a disgraceful defeat, he underlined.
It is essential that the US administration revise its foreign policy mainly those pertaining to the Middle East region, he said.
To a question on Zionist attacks on the so-called Syrian nuclear sites as well as the recent attacks by the US choppers in the country, he said the Bush administration is not in a position to send message on troublesome steps.
During last week's attack by four US helicopters against the civilians at a village in Syria's Deyr al-Zour border province with Iraq, eight kilometers into Syrian territory, eight citizens of that country, including five members of one family, were killed and a number of other villagers were wounded.
