Syria opposition rejects Iran mediation offer
None
Syria's opposition National Coalition on Saturday rejected an Iranian offer to broker talks with the regime, saying the bid was "not serious" and calling Tehran "part of the problem."
"The Iranian initiative is not serious and lacks political credibility," the key opposition grouping said in a statement. The comments came after Iranian President Hassan Rohani said in a column in The Washington Post Thursday that his government was willing to "facilitate dialogue" between the Syrian government and opposition fighters.
