Iran warns West not to strike Syria

(CNN) -- Iran's foreign minister Mohammad Javad Zarif condemned any possible military intervention in Syria Wednesday, warning of "graver conditions," should strikes be carried out, Iran's Fars state news agency reported.

He likened threats of an attack to a return to "the Middle Ages."

The United States has deployed war ships off the coast of Syria, and Western powers say a strike on Syria could be imminent after reports of a chemical weapons attack that killed hundreds.
