Kofi Annan seeks Iran's help in Syria crisis
Special envoy Kofi Annan said Wednesday in Tehran that Iran could help solve the crisis in Syria, where activists reported fresh violence near the capital Damascus a day before an international cease-fire is supposed to take effect.
Iran is one of Syria's strongest allies, and former UN chief Annan went there to bolster support for his faltering plan to stop the country's slide toward civil war. (AP)
