Reuters: Iran will discuss peace in Syria with any country, Rouhani says

Iran is willing to sit down with its rivals to discuss the crisis in Syria, President Hassan Rouhani said on Tuesday, but suggested Tehran would not debate the future of President Bashar al-Assad until peace is achieved.

The world's attention has once again turned to Syria in recent weeks as tens of thousands of refugees have poured into Europe. Russia and Iran continue to back Assad while Western countries insist he must go if peace is to be restored.

"We will sit down at any table with countries inside and outside the region," Rouhani said when asked if Iran would discuss Syria with adversaries Saudi Arabia and the United States.
