Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov blasted the US and the West's reaction to Moscow and Beijing's veto on the UN Security Council resolution on Syria, calling it "almost hysterical." "Those who get angry are hardly ever right," Lavrov stated at a media conference in Moscow. He is expected to arrive on an official visit to Syria on Tuesday. Earlier Monday, Washington announced it was closing its embassy in Damascus, while London recalled its ambassador to the Syrian capital. President Barack Obama said that "We have been relentless in sending a message that it is time for Assad to go. This is not going to be a matter of if, it's going to be a matter of when." British Foreign Secretary William Hague said that the Syrian regime was "a doomed regime. There is no way it can recover its credibility internationally."
