[quote:Lady Jane Smith:MV8yMDg2OTI3XzM1MTM3ODYxXzZCOEYzRjFE] Although NATO and Turkey's officials have emphasized that the deployment of Patriot missiles in Turkey is only for defensive purpose, Iranian officials expressed their deep concerns over the issue over the past days. Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast reiterated Tuesday that NATO's deployment of Patriot missiles in Turkey is a "provocative" move. Mehmanparast said that any "provocative" measures like deploying Patriot missiles in Turkey-Syria border is at odds with the interests of regional countries. Such measures are the "root causes of instability and insecurity" in the region, said Mehmanparast at weekly press conference. He said that Iran has announced its position over the deployment of the air-defense system to the Turkish officials, emphasizing that the stability should be achieved by cooperation of the regional states and any measures which may led to further instability and insecurity in the region should be avoided. Also on Tuesday, Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu stressed that the Patriot missiles to be deployed along Turkey's border with Syria are for "defense" purpose, refuting recent accusations by Iranian officials. http://www.globaltimes.cn/content/751021.shtml Iran is taking a threatening stance over Patriot Defense Systems mobilization in Turkey.

Their offensive in the Palestinian refugee camp of Yarmouk in southern Damascus, which began Friday, is aimed at driving out a pro-government Palestinian faction.
