Report: Iran advancing Syria power transition

Senior Arab diplomats said the governments of Iran, Russia, China and other Syrian allies have concluded that there is no solution to the Syrian crisis that will see President Bashar Assad stay in power, Kuwaiti newspaper al-Rai reported on Saturday.

The report quoted the Arab diplomats as saying that the countries are now trying to advance a proposal by which Assad will leave Syria and receive asylum elsewhere. (Roi Kais)
