" The UN should not act as a state that uses force against anyone who opposes his policies, " Jaafari said .

Syria has denied the use of chemical weapons near Damascus last month and is blaming rebels who used to draw attention the West .

However , the U.S. government is very confident that the regime of Bashar al - Assad was behind the use of sarin gas which the U.S. claimed killed more than 1,400 people.

 Syrian President Bashar al- Assad warned France that Syria would retaliate if France took part in the action plan to the Syrian military . Meanwhile, the French government released data that supports the fact alleged use of chemical weapons by the Assad regime .

" If the French state policy hostile to the Syrian people , we will become their enemy , " Assad said in an interview with French newspaper Le Figaro . " There will be impacts , clearly negative , in the interests of France. "

France has taken a position supporting the Syrian opposition since the early 2.5 -year civil war in Syria . Support was given to fears Syrian conflict will spread to Lebanon , where 20,000 French citizens lived with a lot of French companies operating there . France also has 800 people who reinforce the UN peacekeeping force .

French President Francois Hollande together with U.S. President Barack Obama are the two leaders of the country who insists the Assad regime should be punished for the attack on civilians on Wednesday ( 08/21/2013 ) alleged use of chemical weapons and killed more than 1,400 people .

" Those who make allegations must show proof . We challenge the United States and France to come up with a piece of evidence . Hollande Obama and did not have the ability to do it , " said Assad , in an interview published on Monday ( 02/09/2013 ) .

West opportunities to attack Syria dims after Britain last week against the country's parliament involved in military action to Syria . Currently Obama is still awaiting the approval of Congress before taking any military action to Syria .

However , the French system of government that gives constitutional right to declare war to the President remains a strong supporter of military action into Syria . However, on Monday , a senior member of the opposition party to reject calls Hollande following a parliamentary vote for the approval of an attack of any sort to Syria .

The French Prime Minister Jean - Marc Ayrault after delivering intelligence reports about Syria in front of Parliament on Monday , confirmed the need for a military deployment to the Assad regime . He said Paris wanted to prevent Assad reiterated his use of chemical weapons , as well as blocking people or other countries emulate what has been done Assad .

"The actions of ( Assad ) can not be left without a response , " said Ayrault . " This is not the portion of French acting alone . President continues to bring together a coalition . Purpose ( attack ) not to overthrow the regime or liberate the country, " he said .

Italy also refused to intervene in Syria , until there is a statement from the UN Security Council .

" I expect the Syrian crisis could lead to worsening of the problem of refugees , " said the Prime Minister of Italy Enrico Letta told reporters after a meeting with Prime Minister of Slovenia Alenka Bratusek in resort lake Bled , Slovenia .

Letta added , the EU also do not have adequate approaches to overcome the possible worsening of the refugee problem . " As usual , Italy will do its part , but there is a structural problem , " he added . In mid- 2014 , when Italy became the EU's rotating president , they will try to build a common EU approach to the refugee problem .

Conflict in northern Africa and the eastern Mediterranean , especially in Egypt and Syria , has led to a surge in Italian refugee boat landing . This country is the first EU country to asylum seekers queue destination . Italian Interior Ministry estimates that 3,000 migrants from Syria have arrived in the country this year .

When asked about the plan of the United States and France to take military action as a punishment for the regime of Bashar al- Assad in Syria , Letta said that he could understand the argument and position of the two countries . However , he added , " Italy will not participate in any intervention to the UN Security Council insists no use ( chemical weapons in Syria ) . "
