Iran on Friday threatened to "cut off Israel's feet" if the latter attacks Syria, AFP reported.
During a visit to Damascus, Iranian Vice President Mohammad Reza Rahimi said: “We will stand alongside Syria against any [Israeli] threat … If those who have violated Palestinian land want to try anything we will cut off their feet," he said.
Rahimi called Syria a "strong country that is ready to confront any threat" and said Iran "will back Syria with all its means and strength."

US warns Iran, Syria on threats
The Obama administration Thursday warned Iran and Syria that America's commitment to Israel's security is unshakable, and they should understand the consequences of threats to the Jewish state.
In a speech, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said Syrian transfers of increasingly sophisticated weaponry,
including rockets, to terrorists in southern Lebanon and Gaza could spark new conflict in the Middle East. Additionally, she said a nuclear-armed Iran would profoundly destabilize the region.
"These threats to Israel's security are real, they are growing and they must be addressed," she said in the speech to the American Jewish Committee. The speech was the administration's latest effort to reassure Israel that its ties to the United States remain strong despite tensions that flared last month. (You need to work harder in those efforts to "reassure Israel" - so far, this double-talk simply reveals that to-date, Obama has betrayed a valuable friendship with Israel)
"President Obama noted recently that there has been some of what he called 'noise and distortion' about this administration's approach in the Middle East," Clinton said. "Over the past month, we have attempted to remove any
ambiguity. The president and this administration have repeatedly reaffirmed our commitment to Israel's security in word and in deed." (Really? Oh, do tell everyone how the president and "his" administration have "reaffirmed" their commitment to Israel's security! Was it when you refused to honor the U.S. contracts with Israel? Or, when you shouted from the roof tops that Israel "insulted" the U.S. for proceeding with plans to build in East Jerusalem? Or, was it when you handed Gaza/Hamas $940 MILLION DOLLARS a few months after you took office, Obama? Is aiding and abetting our enemies and those of Israel how you demonstrate your commitment to Israel's security? - Liar! Haven't you ever heard the expression that "actions speak louder than words"? You, Obama, have the tongue of a snake and we can hear you hissing ...! Bee Sting)
"Transferring weapons to these terrorists, especially longer-range missiles, would pose a serious threat to the security of Israel," she said. (It's a done deal, Ms. Clinton! The weapons were transferred weeks ago and Israel tried to inform you, but you refused to listen until earlier this week, AFTER a meeting between Israel's leaders and Obama's administration. So, "would pose" should be changed to "is posed" as a serious threat to Israel's security.)
Israel has accused Syria of providing Hizbullah with Scud missiles, which would dramatically increase the group's ability to strike targets in Israel. Syria has denied the charges. (Again, this is misleading, as Israel KNOWS Syria provided Hizbullah with scud missiles.)
Now, let's stop all this nonsense of cutting off someone's legs and enjoy a little Friday evening humor. I would like to call this video: "To Iran, with love, from Israel". Enjoy! Bee Sting
