Iran, Russia to Discuss the Crisis in Syria

World

Secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council (SNSC) Ali Shamkhani has arrived in Moscow to hold talks with senior Russian officials on major regional developments, Press T.V reported.

The SNSC secretary plans to discuss the current issues in the Middle East, particularly the latest developments in Syria, with top Russian officials.

Iran and Russia have emphasized that the crisis in the Arab country should be resolved through diplomacy.

Russia has long insisted that the so-called moderate opposition groups in Syria should leave the areas held by Daesh and al-Nusra terrorists targeted in the Russian air campaign. However, the United States claims that it is unable to remove the opposition groups and calls on Russia not to carry out airstrikes against the al-Qaeda-affiliated al-Nusra Front terrorist group.

The US and some of its Arab allies have been conducting airstrikes against alleged Daesh position in Syria since September 2014.

Russia launched its air campaign against Daesh and other terrorist groups upon a request by Damascus the next year. Russian military planes and helicopters are providing support to the SyrianArab army’s ground operations against terrorists.
