"We do not want Bashar Assad to remain Syrian president forever. But, we will not allow the terrorists to succeed in their attempt to destroy the Syrian legitimate government," Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister for Arab and African Affairs Hossein Amir-Abdollahian said a seminar on Iraq and the international coalition against the Islamic State (ISIL) insurgency.

He warned that there would be "severe consequences" if the US and the international alliance, which is currently striking ISIL insurgent targets by air in Syria and Iraq, carries out steps aimed at causing "fundamental changes" in Syria. 

Meanwhile he said that during talks, officials in Turkey, which forms a side in the alliance, were also warned against launching a land military offensive within Syria.

"During our preliminary consultations with Turkey, we have found out that this country does not seek escalation of crisis in the region and we hope it would play a positive role in this regard," he said.

Iran will take the measures it sees fit in providing support to Kurds, beseiged by ISIL militants, in the Syrian city of Kobani as part of aid it supplies to the Syrian government, he added.
