Zakharova comments on State Department's call to bomb Assad

Dozens of State Department officials have signed an internal document that calls for targeted military strikes against the Syrian government, according to the Wall Street Journal.

The memo is sharply critical of US policy in Syria, calling for military strikes against the Assad government. 

An unnamed US official familiar with the document said the internal cable may be an attempt to shape the foreign policy outlook of the next US administration.

“It is not a secret to us that there are political forces in the US who favor a military solution [to the Syrian crisis]. But this is not our method," Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova said on Friday, PressTV reports.
