DUBAI (Reuters) – Iran supports a political solution to Syria’s crisis, Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi said in a televised speech to a three-way summit with Russia and Turkey on the Syrian conflict in Tehran on Tuesday
“Syria’s fate should be decided by its people, without foreign intervention … illegitimate presence of occupying U.S. forces destabilises Syria … powerful presence of the Syrian army will help maintaining the country’s integrity,” Raisi said.
