Iran: US military raid 'unacceptable'

Last updated:

Tehran: Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman is condemning a US military raid in Syrian territory close to the border with Iraq.
Spokesman Hasan Qashqavi told reporters on Monday that a violation of the territorial integrity of any sovereign state is unacceptable.

Syria says US military helicopters launched the attack Sunday. Damascus says US helicopters attacked a civilian building under construction and fired on workers inside. It says civilians were among the dead.

A US military official earlier said special forces conducted a raid targeting the network of Al Qaida-linked foreign fighters moving through Syria into Iraq.
