Syria’s Deputy Foreign Minister Fayssal Mikdad accuses the US if seeking to prolong war in the country, and calls on the UN to investigate its military actions in the region.

“We call on the United Nations to investigate the actions and practices of the United States, which threaten the territorial integrity, sovereignty and political independence of Syria and aim at the liquidation of the Syrian people, contradicting the objectives and principles of the UN,” he tells journalists according to the official SANA news outlet.

“The Army will down any jet that launches an assault on Syria and that is not a mere threat… we are able to get rid of terrorists when the West stops supporting them,” he says.
