Iran to present Syria peace plan to United Nations
Iran will soon present the United Nations with a peace plan for Syria, where civil war has caused a humanitarian catastrophe and allowed the Islamic State group to flourish, Deputy Foreign Minister Hossein Amir Abdollahian said on Wednesday.
Tehran, which has stood by its ally, Syrian President Bashar Assad, through more than four years of civil war, is hosting Syrian and Russian officials this week to discuss a solution to the conflict that has claimed hundreds of thousands of lives. "This plan will be presented to the UN Secretary General after detailed discussions between Tehran and Damascus are completed," Abdollahian was quoted as saying by Iran's state news agency IRNA.
