The US intervention will be a disaster for the region, Iran's supreme leader says

Any military intervention by the United States in Syria will spell "disaster" for the region, Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei warned on Wednesday.

"The US intervention will be a disaster for the region," Khamenei told a meeting with the cabinet of Iranian President Hassan Rowhani, state television reported.

"The region is like a gunpowder depot. (Its) future cannot be predicted" in case of a military strike against Syria, he added.
